About Victoria

Victoria Dann is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, career worries and the pressures of life changes. She also supports people with ADHD and compassion fatigue, and those from LGBT backgrounds.

Victoria keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens, asks clear questions and helps people try out different ways of coping. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what steps someone can take between sessions. Practical tools sometimes come from cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises.

Her background includes work with attachment-related difficulties and using attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) concepts also appear in her way of helping clients notice thoughts and choose values-driven action. Client-centred principles guide the pace and tone of sessions.

People who come to Victoria often want help with big transitions - leaving home, changing jobs or managing new parenting roles. She aims to make therapy accessible and down-to-earth for those moments. Sessions are intended to be collaborative so clients leave with clear next steps.

If someone wants to begin, they can follow the online matching and booking steps to arrange an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action based on personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behaviour patterns and trying small experiments to change them. It is commonly applied to anxiety, low mood and self-esteem work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy and family-related concerns.

Finding the right mixture of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around studies, early-career hours or parenting by saving travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, have limited bandwidth, or need sessions that fit a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practice and CBT-style tasks to an online setting so the work remains focused and practical.
