About Violetta
Violetta Staron is a BACP counsellor with 20 years' experience helping people manage work and wellbeing concerns, stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports those facing relationship strain, grieving a loss, struggling with addiction, or coping with life changes. She offers a calm, practical approach and encourages people to use their own strengths to find change.
Her practice centres on listening and practical problem-solving. She believes people know their own stories and works alongside them to test new ways of handling difficult situations. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, manageable steps and building everyday skills that fit into work and family life.
Violetta uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused ideas and Compassion-Focused elements sit alongside a Person-Centred base. This mix is used to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties.
She has worked with a wide range of life challenges including parenting pressures, career crossroads, ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue and midlife transitions. Violetta also supports people dealing with immigration issues, guilt and shame, and the complexities of non-monogamous relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish and are based in the United Kingdom. The therapist aims to help people make practical changes that improve day-to-day wellbeing and satisfaction at work and home.
How Violetta’s approaches work for online therapy
Violetta commonly draws on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas, with a Person-Centred base and elements of Compassion-Focused work. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and helps people try small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused ideas help people identify practical goals and steps, which can speed up change for work and wellbeing concerns.She treats finding the right approach as a joint task. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit your needs. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted so the approach feels helpful and relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy workdays and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins during a lunch break or fit therapy into a commute-free day.
