About Violetta
Violetta Staron is a BACP counsellor with 20 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem and depression.
She describes people as experts in their own stories and looks to build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on talking through current struggles and on practical steps to reduce distress. Violetta aims to help with life changes, coping strategies and decisions that affect daily life and relationships.
Her approach draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and a person-centred foundation. That mix is used to identify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and work on clearer communication with others.
Violetta has spent two decades adapting her work to different backgrounds and life stages. She often supports people dealing with blended family issues, divorce and separation, family of origin problems, immigration-related stress, and midlife concerns. She also offers help around postpartum depression, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and sexuality and women’s issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and Polish. Costs vary by location and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, the site’s matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Violetta blends person-centred counselling with practical, evidence-informed techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective so they can explore choices and priorities in their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy elements look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and introduce small experiments to test new ways of responding.She also uses solution-focused methods which concentrate on clear goals and identifying what is already working. These techniques are useful for specific problems like communication breakdowns, parenting routines or managing anxiety by setting achievable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree the methods that best match the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better fits a person's day or bandwidth.
