Victoria Dann, BACP

Victoria Dann is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which means she meets the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Victoria focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with self‑esteem and life changes.

Her approach centres on building a warm and respectful connection. She aims to listen carefully and help people feel heard before offering ideas or techniques. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and paced according to what feels manageable.

Victoria draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when things are hard. Cognitive behavioural techniques support practical changes in thoughts and habits, and attachment work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns.

People contact her about a wide range of issues, including parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, coping with addiction, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and family or communication problems. She also works with matters like fertility, divorce and separation, body image, and commitment worries.

Sessions can be arranged online in various formats and are matched through a short questionnaire. Victoria aims to make the first steps clear and straightforward so people can focus on the work ahead.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Victoria combines a few clear methods to help people in short, practical ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and living through major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours through practical exercises and small experiments, often helping with anxiety, low mood and self‑esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people shift ways of relating that cause difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit the person she is seeing. This is a collaborative process where she explains options and checks in about what is helpful as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to fit sessions into life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, live chat can suit quick check‑ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep continuity when schedules are busy or when someone prefers not to travel, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic progress with a registered or accredited professional.
