Background and approach

Her work includes issues around relationships, intimacy and family difficulties, and she can address concerns related to neurodiversity such as Autism and Asperger Syndrome. She blends body-aware work with talking therapies, so sessions may include attention to physical sensations as well as thoughts and feelings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns and choose practical next steps. People who prefer a collaborative, paced way of working often find this approach useful. Victoria aims to tailor each plan to the person’s needs and comfort, using everyday language rather than jargon.

Sessions are designed to feel practical and relevant to real life. Victoria works with clients in English and accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the site process.

How specific approaches work online and in your body

Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations alongside thoughts and feelings. It can help when stress shows up as tension, panic, numbness or other physical signals by inviting gentle awareness and simple body-based practices.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports setting personal values and taking small, manageable steps towards a life that matters to the individual.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach can be useful for people who notice repeated relationship difficulties or struggle with trust and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. People are invited to try things and feedback is used to shape future sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and allow people to work from wherever they feel most comfortable. Practical tools and exercises can be shared and discussed across these formats to support learning between sessions.
