About Victoria
Victoria Small is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of clinical experience. She works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Victoria also supports people facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting strains and the effects of chronic illness.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and paced to what the client needs. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at difficult emotions and attachment patterns that keep people stuck. She also uses client-centred and mindfulness ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful responses.
Victoria has experience addressing family conflict, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem. She also works with career pressures, coping with life changes and issues linked to ageing and caregiving. Additional areas she notes include body image, dissociation, commitment and control concerns.
In practice she combines short-term solution-focused tools with trauma-focused work when needed. That means some sessions focus on practical steps and coping skills, while others slow down to process painful experiences. The balance is decided with the client in session.
People who choose Victoria often want clear, direct conversation about feelings and relationship patterns. She helps people name their emotions, recognise repeating patterns and try small changes. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to schedule a first meeting and talk through what they want to work on.
How Victoria uses EFT, client-centred work and mindfulness online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and working with strong emotions and attachment patterns that repeat in relationships or personal behaviour. It helps people name feelings and notice how those feelings affect interaction and decision-making. Client-Centred Therapy centres the client’s perspective, using open conversation and reflection to support clearer self-understanding and choices. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then use a combination of EFT, client-centred listening and practical mindfulness or solution-focused steps as appropriate. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.

They can also support steady work through emotional issues by keeping sessions regular and simpler to schedule. Registered or accredited professionals like Victoria aim to match the method and timing of sessions to what works best for each person.
