Victoria Rose, BACP

Victoria Rose is a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who draws on an integrative toolkit to support adults through difficult moments. She combines evidence-informed CBT with compassion-focused techniques and relaxation skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and develop practical ways to respond differently. Her approach recognises that individual stories and life experiences shape how people understand themselves and the world, and she adapts her work to each person’s needs.

Victoria understands that asking for help can feel daunting, and she approaches each therapeutic relationship with warmth, patience and respect. In her counselling space she aims to provide safety, compassion and trust so people can work through challenging thoughts, emotions and behaviours at a pace that feels manageable. Her background in the media industry and volunteering for a children and young person's mental health support charity means she often brings creative thinking into sessions to complement therapeutic work.

She currently supports adults aged 18 and over with depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, communication difficulties, boundary setting, pregnancy and fertility concerns, self-esteem issues, family and relationship problems, grief and anger. Victoria has lived experience of ADHD and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP, membership number 01002520).

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Victoria often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to reduce distress and build coping skills; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and to clarify personal values so they can take meaningful action despite discomfort; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She also draws on client-centered therapy principles, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic space where the person’s own goals and pace guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Victoria works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can be held via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or elsewhere, while still working with a registered professional to address the issues that matter most.
