Victoria Nash, NCPS

Victoria Nash supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She is a counsellor and hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience, and she offers a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult issues.

Victoria uses a flexible approach tailored to each person. She puts the person at the centre of sessions and builds a trusting working relationship before moving on to practical tools. Sessions can include talking therapies alongside hypnotherapy when that suits the person.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make sure sessions follow the person's pace and priorities. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past experiences may still affect feelings and behaviour today. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and actions that keep problems going.

Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional option for people who want to try it as part of their plan. Victoria explains what it involves and only uses it when a person feels comfortable to proceed.

She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and without judgement. The focus is on what the person wants to change and on small practical steps that build confidence and coping skills over time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach give space to talk about what matters most and help build a trusting working relationship.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. It works well in online formats when the counsellor and person practise tools together and set small tasks between sessions.

Victoria will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Deciding which methods to use is part of the early sessions, and she adapts plans as goals and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily routines.
