About Victoria Nelsen

Victoria Nelsen approaches counselling with a clear belief in people’s inherent strengths and resilience. She recognises that life does not always follow our plans and that at times people can feel overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck in repeating patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them. Some of the coping strategies people use can become counterproductive, and Victoria supports clients in exploring how those patterns developed and what might be possible instead.

She offers a calm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where clients can reflect on where they are and where they would like to go. While theoretical approaches in counselling are many and can be adapted to suit each person, Victoria places particular value on the therapeutic relationship so that clients feel seen and understood. That sense of being heard often helps restore a renewed sense of hope and clearer direction for the future.

Beginning counselling can feel daunting, and Victoria acknowledges the courage it takes to make that first step. It is a privilege for her to listen and to share in someone’s story, and she welcomes enquiries from those who feel ready to begin. Victoria holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in the field.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Victoria works primarily with client-centered and existential approaches to help people navigate stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment where clients are encouraged to lead the pace and content of sessions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and exploring coping patterns.

Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice and personal responsibility, helping clients face life changes and feelings of isolation or purposelessness. It supports people who are wrestling with big life decisions, loss, or a search for direction by clarifying values and enhancing a sense of agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Victoria collaborates with each client to determine which methods feel most helpful, adapting sessions to match individual needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy is relevant and respectful of what each person brings.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from a registered professional without travel. Victoria uses these formats to provide consistent, accessible care tailored to each client’s circumstances.
