Victoria Halliburton, BACP

Victoria Halliburton is a counsellor who draws on three years of professional counselling experience and a long background in education. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Her aim is to offer a respectful and compassionate space where practical conversation leads to clearer next steps.

She holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom. Victoria adapts the pace and style of sessions to each person, so conversations and goals are shaped around what feels most useful for them. She listens for strengths and patterns that can be developed or changed.

Victoria has a further 25 years of experience in education, which informs how she explains ideas and supports people to build skills over time. That background can help when work or family routines affect mental wellbeing. Sessions often focus on everyday strategies that fit into a busy life.

Her approach to grief and loss is gentle and practical, helping people manage difficult feelings and rebuild routines. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she works at a pace clients can tolerate and helps them regain a sense of safety in daily life.

For parenting and ADHD-related concerns she offers straightforward ways to manage stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Victoria encourages small, achievable changes and checks progress together so plans stay realistic and relevant.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Victoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person’s needs. One common approach she uses focuses on building practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, helping people learn short strategies to manage overwhelming moments and improve daily routines. Another pathway she often takes is a paced, trauma-informed way of working that helps people process difficult experiences a step at a time without pushing beyond what feels manageable.

Deciding on the best approach happens together. She will talk through options, try things out, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and what feels most helpful. This collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing to speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, care duties or other commitments and ensure continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
