Victoria Small, BACP

Victoria Small is a United Kingdom based therapist with 10 years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, family conflicts, disability-related adjustments, ADHD in young people and adults, and trauma and abuse. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and approaches each person with respect and sensitivity.

Known for a warm and compassionate style, she aims to understand each client’s experience closely and to 'walk in your shoes' as issues are explored. Her work is tailored to the unique needs of each person, shaping dialogue and treatment plans to fit priorities, pace, and circumstances. Victoria combines practical focus with empathetic listening to help clients identify meaningful change and move forward in their lives.

She recognises the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports people through that first step, offering collaborative guidance and adaptable strategies designed around individual goals and challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Victoria Small draws on client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard and supported while exploring personal goals and challenges; it is useful for a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can help couples and individuals address attachment, intimacy, and conflict. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions, supporting better emotional regulation and day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Victoria works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss different methods, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives, to continue work while managing logistical constraints, and to connect with registered professionals and therapists from a range of locations.
