About Victoria
BACP. 4 years' experience. Victoria "Vicky" Mason is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works remotely. She helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and grief, and with problems that touch on family life such as communication and fatherhood issues.
Vicky uses a person-centred approach. She listens and reflects what clients say so they can better understand their feelings. Sessions focus on talking through whatever is most pressing, whether that is relationship strain, feelings of abandonment or persistent guilt and shame.
Her work also covers attachment and codependency patterns, avoidant personality traits, and questions about life purpose and isolation. She aims to help people recognise how past and present relationships affect what they feel now and how they respond to others.
In practice Vicky keeps sessions straightforward. She encourages open conversation about emotions and reactions. This often involves looking at triggers, patterns and ways to communicate differently with others.
Counselling is offered remotely. Before booking she asks people to consider which practical session formats they prefer and to confirm current options. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches used in remote counselling and how they help
Vicky practises person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can make sense of their feelings and responses. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and grief because it prioritises the client's experience rather than directing solutions.She also works with attachment-related ideas, looking at how past relationships can shape current patterns in closeness and trust. Addressing attachment can help with issues such as abandonment, codependency and difficulty committing to relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. That conversation is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work or family time and avoiding travel. Remote sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, save commuting time and join from different locations. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography states remote work but does not list exact options.
