Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of the work, with the therapist offering empathy and non-directive support to help people explore their feelings and priorities. This approach can be helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on identifying patterns that arise from past experience and unconscious influences, supporting clients to understand recurring themes in relationships and behaviour so they can make different choices. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen emotional connection, making it suitable for people working on relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Victoria works together with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the focus as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with registered professionals allows sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make therapy more accessible for people who prefer to meet from home or who require varied formats to communicate comfortably, while still enabling sustained, effective therapeutic work.
