About Violetta
Violetta Staron is a BACP counsellor with 20 years' experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and life transitions. She works with adults who are struggling with low mood, problems with intimacy, grief, addiction and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and aim to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day life.
Violetta treats each person as the expert in their own story. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Together they set realistic goals and try practical steps that can bring small, steady change. Her background spans two decades of practice across a wide range of issues. That experience has shaped a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s needs.
She says courage and small actions often start bigger shifts. In sessions she draws on evidence-based techniques alongside a person-centred foundation. That mix is used to work on thinking and behaviour, to build self-compassion, and to focus on practical solutions when needed.
The aim is clearer thinking, calmer emotions and better day-to-day coping. Violetta also helps with specific concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems, postpartum depression, midlife crisis, immigration stress and sexual identity matters. Her approach is practical, respectful and paced to the individual.
People who choose her can expect collaborative sessions that focus on what matters now. Therapy tends to be conversational, goal-aware and shaped around real-life steps to improve mood, relationships and confidence.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques to spot and change thoughts and behaviours that feed low mood or anxiety. These are practical tools that can help with depression, sleep or anxiety by giving clear steps to try between sessions.
Compassion-focused ideas are used to build self-kindness and reduce harsh self-criticism. That can be important for people dealing with guilt, shame or burnout and supports steadier emotional regulation.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt as progress is made.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible timing during busy weeks. These options aim to make counselling easier to fit around work, childcare and travel commitments.
