About Victoria

Victoria Wilkinson is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, addictions, and codependency among other concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, mood conditions and life transitions.

Victoria uses straightforward, talk-based work that aims to help people notice what keeps them stuck. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clearer choices rather than jargon. She often blends cognitive behavioural techniques with acceptance-based ideas to help with unhelpful thoughts and strong emotions.

Her approach pays attention to how early attachments and current relationships shape feeling and behaviour. That means looking at patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or staying in roles that drain energy. Conversations also cover boundaries, intimacy concerns and how past losses affect present life.

Victoria invites clients to try small, doable changes between sessions. She works with pacing so people can test new ways of acting without becoming overwhelmed. Over time the work aims to reduce reactive cycles and increase the options someone can choose from in relationships and daily life.

She encourages straightforward discussion about goals and practical barriers. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Victoria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and people-pleasing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current closeness and boundaries, which is helpful for intimacy and codependency-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels doable, then trial methods and adjust as needed. This helps ensure the work matches practical life demands as well as emotional aims.

Session format details are not listed in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family or work by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling people to attend from quieter or more convenient surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of approaches online and will discuss which ways of meeting suit a person’s day-to-day needs.
