About Victoria
Victoria Livesey is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She meets individuals who are looking for clearer ways to cope and for kinder ways to understand their emotions. Her approach is warm and straightforward, and she encourages small steps that build confidence.
Victoria has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. That space is used to make sense of what is happening now and to plan practical next steps. Her style draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches.
Sessions often involve noticing how feelings and patterns show up, and practising small changes that feel manageable. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when they fit a person’s needs. Victoria works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family strain, addiction and compulsive behaviours, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with bereavement, chronic illness and complex life transitions. Sessions are typically during weekday hours Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm. She offers meetings by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines and comfort levels.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Mindful Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core feelings and patterns in relationships and personal life. Online sessions can guide someone to recognise what matters most in their emotional responses and practice different ways of responding that feel safer and more connected.Client-Centred Therapy offers a non-directive space where the person sets the pace and topics. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports each individual to find their own solutions and understanding. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple exercises to help notice thoughts and bodily signals, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through options and adapt methods to fit a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan that feels realistic and manageable.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work, while chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or written reflection over time. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family and other commitments.
