Therapeutic approaches and online support
Victoria combines client-centred work with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people feel understood and to untangle difficult emotional patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, valuing the person's own perspective and helping them find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift the emotional responses that keep them stuck, which can be useful for relationship and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Victoria will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person's goals and preferences. That may mean starting with a client-centred conversation and bringing in elements of EFT or the Gottman Method where helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
