About Victoria
Victoria Wilkinson is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem and the everyday pressures of parenting.
She helps people who are coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and those dealing with addiction or compassion fatigue. Victoria also supports people navigating intimacy-related concerns, body image and eating or sleeping difficulties. She works with clients who identify as LGBT and those coping with ADHD or bipolar when these are part of their wider concerns.
Her way of working is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what feels difficult right now. She draws on practical approaches to spot unhelpful patterns and to try small changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Victoria uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. She also includes Client-Centred and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques where these fit a person's needs. The emphasis is on finding useful tools rather than on labels.
People who come to her often want help with parenting strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, or with caring responsibilities. She invites prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see how her style fits their situation.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps with anxiety, low mood and adjusting to life changes by focusing on what matters and small committed actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that maintain distress.Attachment-Based ideas focus on how early relationships influence current ways of relating to others and to oneself. This can be helpful for people wrestling with intimacy, abandonment, or caregiving stresses. Victoria aims to work together with each client to identify which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and situation. She treats this as a collaborative process and will adjust methods as the work develops.
The exact session formats for Victoria are not listed here, so please confirm the options available before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work and other commitments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to maintain regular contact and build progress without requiring travel.
