About Victoria
Victoria Cowgill is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain. She offers a listening space where clients can talk about anxiety, stress, depression and relationship strain without judgement. Victoria presents a calm, steady presence and focuses on what each person needs right now.
She trained initially in person-centred practice and holds a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Integrative Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Background and approach
Victoria has eight years of professional experience, including work with both personal and NHS clients. Her approach combines client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic thinking and trauma-focused methods. That means she pays attention to present concerns and also to patterns from earlier life that keep repeating.
In sessions she encourages reflection, helps people make sense of feelings, and supports practical steps to change. Victoria regularly works with issues such as anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing life changes, long-term illness and career pressures.
She adapts techniques to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. People who choose Victoria usually want a respectful, collaborative relationship and clear ways to move forward. She will listen, offer gentle challenge when needed, and help you identify small, workable changes.
If you are ready to try talking things through, she aims to make the first steps as straightforward as possible.

Approaches Victoria lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. Trauma-focused approaches aim to reduce the ongoing impact of painful memories and build strategies to manage triggers and intense emotions. Victoria will discuss these options and collaborate with each person to decide which approach feels most suitable for their goals and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works well for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow different ways to connect as needs change.
