Victoria Livesey, BACP

Victoria Livesey is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She works with adults who want practical help to feel steadier and more able to cope. Victoria uses calm, direct conversation to make it easier to talk about hard things.

She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Victoria creates an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without being judged. She encourages small, workable steps that fit into everyday life.

Her approach blends client-centred listening with emotionally focused work and mindfulness techniques. That means she pays attention to what matters to each person, helps name and track emotional patterns, and uses grounding practices to reduce overwhelm. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused ideas when that seems helpful.

Victoria often supports people with issues such as addiction, self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD and long-term illness. She also works with concerns linked to attachment, adoption, bereavement and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to clarify goals and build practical coping skills.

Her working hours are generally 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability. Victoria offers sessions in English in the United Kingdom.

How her approaches translate to online work

Victoria blends client-centred listening with emotionally focused therapy and mindfulness practices. Client-centred work means the focus stays on the person's priorities and experiences, helping them feel heard and understood. Emotionally focused work looks at patterns in feelings and interactions to help people recognise and change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. Victoria will discuss goals, needs and preferences with each person and try different ways of working to see what helps most. Together they set small goals and review what is useful as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep a regular weekly check-in or to choose shorter catch-up sessions when life is hectic. The biography does not state which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt the same approaches used in person to remote sessions, helping people build coping skills and manage stress from wherever they join.
