Pippa Vlietstra, NCPS

Pippa Vlietstra is a fully qualified, compassionate integrative therapist who offers focused support for people working through anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem and nervous system dysregulation. As an accredited member of the NCPS, she holds recognised professional accreditation that reflects her clinical training and commitment to ethical practice.

She works with individuals and with couples aged 18 and over, tailoring sessions to each person’s circumstances and goals. Her approach emphasises practical regulation skills alongside exploring patterns in relationships and self-worth, helping clients to build more reliable coping strategies and healthier connections.

Pippa frames therapy as a collaborative process, meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they take the courageous steps toward positive change. She aims to empower people through steady, empathic guidance and practical tools that can be applied between sessions.

Attachment and somatic approaches for online therapy

Pippa works from an attachment-based framework that explores how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of safety, trust and connection. This approach helps people understand repeating dynamics in friendships and romantic relationships and supports rebuilding secure ways of relating. She also uses client-centered principles that prioritise the individual’s perspective, offering empathic reflection and collaborative pacing so clients feel heard and guided rather than directed. Where bodily responses are prominent, Pippa draws on somatic techniques to help people notice and gently regulate physical sensations linked to stress and trauma, which can support relief from anxiety and overwhelm.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Pippa works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on needs, goals and personal preferences. She adapts methods over time as clients progress and as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Pippa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to access care. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life while maintaining continuity of support from a registered professional.
