About Victoria
Victoria Ann Reid is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic ideas alongside other approaches to help people with problems in work and wellbeing. She brings nine years of experience and a background in education to her practice. Victoria is based in the United Kingdom and works with a wide range of concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Victoria commonly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and issues around sexuality and gender. People bring questions about intimacy, addiction, self-esteem, ADHD and life changes, and Victoria will talk things through without rushing to label them.
Her way of working is warm and gentle. She aims to create a space where people can speak openly and be heard. The therapeutic relationship is treated with respect and care, and Victoria emphasises listening and understanding over judgement.
Victoria draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences and patterns affect current life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques where they fit someone’s needs. Sessions combine talking, reflection and practical steps tailored to each person.

How psychodynamic, CBT and mindfulness work online
Psychodynamic work focuses on patterns from earlier life and how they turn up now; online sessions use talking and reflection to notice repeated behaviours and feelings and to make different choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers straightforward steps to try between sessions to change unhelpful routines. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to use. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something else fits better.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and daily life and removing travel time so appointments can be easier to keep. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions fit a busy day, while others prefer longer conversations. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can still offer the same reflective conversations and practical tools over distance, helping people manage stress, relationships and wellbeing without needing to rearrange their whole day.
