About Victoria
Victoria Livesey is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful feelings and decide what matters most to them. Victoria uses listening and practical conversation to help people take the next steps in their life.
She draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That means she works within recognised professional standards in the UK. Victoria uses a mix of approaches depending on the person and the issue. She often starts with client-centred work to understand what each person needs, then brings in emotionally-focused techniques for relationship and attachment issues.
Mindfulness-based ideas are used to help manage overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. She helps clients set small, achievable goals and reviews progress together.
For people coping with grief, addiction, trauma, parenting strain or work stress, the emphasis is on helping them feel steadier and more able to cope. Her usual working hours are 8am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday. Victoria supports people in English and works with adults seeking help for life changes, mood issues and interpersonal pain.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.

Online support
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. EFT helps people identify emotional needs and improve how they relate to others, which can be useful for relationship pain and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Victoria will discuss different approaches with the client and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a close conversational feel, phone works well if bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and chat or messaging suits shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep consistent contact when life gets hectic.
