About Victoria

NCPS. 3 years' experience. Victoria Wilkinson works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports those dealing with self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and people managing addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Victoria also helps with practical life changes such as career shifts, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and eating or sleeping difficulties.

Victoria describes counselling in grounded, conversational terms. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, noticing patterns that cause distress, and practising different ways of responding. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to guide the work.

In the room she aims to listen to each person's experience and try out strategies that can be used between sessions. That can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning new emotion-regulation skills, or clarifying personal values and goals. She also works with more specialised topics listed in her profile, like adoption and foster care, aging issues, autism and body image concerns.

Her experience is three years and she is listed with NCPS. The practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule an initial session. The service uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction and practical steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods fit best with their goals, needs and preferences, and may combine techniques from different approaches as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some skills practice simpler to carry out between sessions, helping people apply techniques in everyday life.
