Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Victoria
Victoria commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape patterns of connection and security in adult life. This approach helps people understand relationship dynamics, attachment needs and how to build more secure ways of relating.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This method supports self-exploration, increases self-esteem and is useful for a wide range of emotional concerns including anxiety, low mood and relationship issues.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is another key strand of her practice when past adverse experiences affect current functioning. This approach aims to address trauma-related symptoms and help people process difficult memories so they can regain a stronger sense of coping and wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Victoria works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors methods and pace to suit the individual rather than assuming one model suits everyone.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect from different locations. These options allow registered professionals to offer consistent therapeutic support while accommodating varied schedules and communication preferences.
