Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Victoria

Victoria integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic work alongside mindfulness-informed techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for issues like anxiety, stress and mood difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past relationships and internal emotional life to help make sense of recurring difficulties and deepen self-understanding. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance, which can support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Victoria approaches this collaboratively. She will work with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions allow Victoria to offer therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support into busy or geographically dispersed lives. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and can make it simpler for international clients or those balancing work and family to access consistent care from licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
