About Victoria

Victoria Dann is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice and a BACP registration. She approaches therapy as a human conversation rather than a technical fix. She aims to build a calm, respectful space where people feel listened to and understood before any practical work begins.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She encourages people to speak about what matters most to them and to set goals that fit their life. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Victoria uses practical techniques alongside reflective conversation so clients can try out new ways of coping between meetings.

Victoria has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety and grief, and those managing parenting pressures, self-esteem or major life changes. She also works with issues such as addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and communication problems, body image, and separation or blended family difficulties.

Her training influences how she works rather than defining it. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas, mixing them to suit each person. This helps people learn both practical skills and new ways of seeing old patterns.

If someone wants to begin, the usual first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the service. Victoria accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps that fit the life someone wants to lead, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits for issues like worry, low mood and problem solving.

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. It can help when communication, trust or intimacy are recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. This collaborative process means the approach can change as goals shift and progress emerges.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as none are specified in the biography. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or longer appointments when needed. It also means people outside the immediate area can work with registered professionals and try different approaches without changing location.
