About Victoria
Victoria Wilkinson offers counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She helps with relationship worries, low self-esteem, grief and issues around intimacy. Victoria also provides support for addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue and a range of body, identity and behavioural concerns.
She works with people who identify as LGBT and those coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain. Victoria keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She listens first and then helps people notice how their body and thoughts respond to stress.
Background and approach
Practical tools and short exercises are used alongside talking to help people manage emotions and make changes. Her background includes three years of practice and registration with NCPS, which she uses to inform a calm, respectful approach. Victoria draws on Somatic work to help people tune into physical sensations linked to emotion.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to explore values and relationships. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Victoria helps people set clear, manageable goals and checks progress as therapy continues.
She balances gentle reflection with simple skills to cope with difficult moments. People often come to her wanting immediate ways to feel steadier and clearer about their next steps. Victoria offers phone, video, live chat and text-based sessions to fit different needs and rhythms of life.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body. Online sessions can include simple grounding and breathing exercises, guided awareness of physical sensations, and reflection on how those sensations link to feelings and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps. It uses acceptance of difficult thoughts alongside practical actions to help people live more in line with what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, helping people understand and change repeating patterns in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and comfort level. That means trying things, reflecting together, and adjusting the plan as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or health needs, and allow people to access support from home. Sessions can combine talking and short somatic exercises so practical change can happen between meetings.
