About Victoria

Victoria Wilkinson works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem and life changes, using a person-centred approach alongside evidence-based methods. She is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Victoria offers straightforward counselling. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the client, with practical tools and reflective discussion. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot patterns of thinking and behaviour. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live according to their values.

Her work includes attention to attachment-based themes. That means she looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and closeness in adult life. Emotion regulation skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are available for people who need help managing intense feelings.

Victoria supports people with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress and neurodiversity issues such as autism and ADHD. She also works with career concerns, compassion fatigue and long-term health conditions where emotional coping is needed.

Sessions combine talking with practical exercises and goal-focused tasks between meetings when helpful. She invites clients to reflect on steps they can try between sessions and to review what helps and what does not. Where people prefer, the emphasis can be on understanding past patterns to change present behaviour.

Sessions are carried out in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Victoria uses psychological approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values. It often uses practical exercises and acceptance skills to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then testing and changing them through practical tasks. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with sleep and eating.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present-day closeness and trust. It can be useful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns and attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss different methods with the client and together they will agree which fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. They also make it easier to continue work during life changes and when managing long-term health conditions.
