Victoria Wilkinson, NCPS

Victoria Wilkinson offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem and life changes. She also helps people coping with trauma, grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and those facing career stress or compassion fatigue. Victoria's work includes support around ADHD, bipolar challenges, intimacy issues and a wide range of attachment and identity questions.

Victoria aims for a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. She listens carefully and helps people spot patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations focus on small, practical steps as well as understanding deeper feelings and past experiences.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred listening. Victoria also uses attachment-based ideas and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. These tools are used to build coping skills, manage intense emotions and clarify values for daily life.

She trained to the NCPS standard and has three years of professional experience. That background informs a pragmatic approach that mixes coaching-style goal work with reflective therapy. Victoria encourages people to set realistic aims and try things between sessions.

Sessions are suitable for those wanting short-term focused help or longer work to untangle past patterns. Victoria works collaboratively, explaining options and checking in about what fits each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and testing them with small experiments. It is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and helps people create different, healthier patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the focus as needed, so sessions match the individual rather than a fixed model.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use worksheets on screen. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style tasks or when people want shorter, more frequent contact. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
