Victoria Rose, BACP

Victoria Rose helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or change. She works with adults who are coping with depression, anger, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, sleep difficulties and low self-esteem. Victoria introduces practical steps so clients can feel steadier day to day.

Victoria uses a mix of approaches so sessions fit each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ideas to help people notice thoughts, try different actions and reconnect with what matters. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals and track progress.

She trained and now practices with five years of experience and holds BACP registration. Before counselling work she spent time in the media industry and volunteered with a children and young person’s mental health charity. That background shapes a creative, down-to-earth way of working.

Sessions are paced to suit each person’s needs. Victoria aims to build trust and to offer calm, practical help for everyday difficulties. She also draws on relaxation exercises and compassion-focused ideas when helpful.

Victoria mentions lived experience of ADHD and uses that understanding in sessions when relevant. Her approach focuses on small, manageable changes to reduce distress and make everyday life feel more manageable again.

How her approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with panic, low mood, sleep problems and anger. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for the person to be heard and understood without judgement, which helps when someone needs emotional support or to make sense of difficult experiences.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Victoria will work with a client to identify goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as needed. She uses techniques from these approaches alongside short-term, solution-focused tasks so progress can be checked and revised together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat serves as a quick check-in and messaging supports short reflections between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and busy lives, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
