About Victoria
Counsellor Victoria Dann is a BACP member with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, addictions and a range of relationship and life-change issues. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Victoria uses straightforward, conversational methods to help people talk through what is worrying them. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. That means practical steps and looking at how relationships and past experiences affect day-to-day life.
Her style places the client at the centre. She listens, reflects and helps people try small changes between sessions. Work often focuses on clearer communication, coping techniques for anxiety, and noticing patterns that cause distress.
Victoria also supports people dealing with career stress, fertility and family problems, intimate difficulties and compassion fatigue. Other areas she covers include ADHD, body image, codependency and separation. She adapts what she offers to the issue being discussed rather than using the same plan for everyone.
New sessions begin with a short assessment to set goals and practical next steps. Victoria explains the counselling options and how a course of sessions might look. The focus is on workable strategies that fit into everyday life, not on medical diagnosis.
She asks potential clients to use the site matching questionnaire and scheduling tools to book a first session. That process helps decide whether her approach and experience suit the problem someone brings.
Therapeutic approaches and doing counselling online
Victoria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT is practical and focuses on actions that fit a person’s life rather than trying to remove thoughts entirely.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT is used for anxiety, low mood and stress by trying out different ways of thinking and behaving and checking what actually helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
The online route can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. Online meetings may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to be on camera for a session if that suits someone better.
