About Pippa
NCPS. 3 years' experience. Based in the United Kingdom, Pippa Vlietstra works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships and nervous system regulation using an integrative approach. She describes her work in client-centred terms and includes attachment and trauma-focused methods alongside somatic techniques.
Pippa uses client-centred ways of working to create a conversational and reflective setting. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Somatic methods help people notice and work with bodily responses related to trauma and anxiety.
Her practice covers a range of concerns including relationship difficulties, family-related strain, parenting stress, grief, addiction-related issues, and problems with sleep or eating. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and commitment concerns. ADHD, anger and career-related stress are within her stated scope.
Pippa indicates she works with individuals and couples aged 18 and over. The biography lists NCPS as her credential; NCPS is shown exactly as supplied. She has three years of experience in counselling work.

How Pippa’s approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. Online, this means talking through relationship histories and noticing patterns in current partnerships or friendships to reduce repeated conflict and anxiety. Client-centred work puts the person's concerns at the heart of each session. In practice this looks like open conversation, reflective listening and pacing sessions to the client's needs so they can explore issues such as grief, depression, or life changes. Somatic techniques involve attention to bodily sensations and physical responses. Applied online, these techniques can include guided awareness of breathing, grounding exercises and noticing tension patterns that link to trauma or anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pippa will help decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses in collaboration with the client. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to continue counselling with the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face sessions, helping people manage stress, relationship issues and trauma-related symptoms without requiring in-person attendance.Areas of expertise
