About Victoria
Victoria Dann is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by change. She aims to provide a warm place to talk and to help clients find clearer ways forward.
Her work focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She also helps people coping with life transitions, addictions, ADHD and issues around intimacy and relationships.
Background and approach
Victoria works with a broad range of concerns including career worries, compassion fatigue and fertility-related stress. Victoria draws on several well-known approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and Client-Centred methods to keep the conversation driven by the client.
Mindfulness and attachment-based ideas are also woven into the work when appropriate. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens, reflects, and suggests simple steps you can try between sessions.
Where helpful, she will offer exercises to practise breathing, noticing thoughts, or building small habits that ease day-to-day pressure. Victoria welcomes people who want a respectful, non-judgemental space to think things through. She works collaboratively to set goals and adapt the approach to each persons needs.
If you want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor to talk things over with, she can be a steady companion on that route.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small steps that match those values. It is useful for moving through anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than only on symptoms. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. It often suits worries, stress and problems that feel stuck. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation led by the person sitting in front of the counsellor, creating space to be listened to and understood.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Victoria will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match the persons goals and preferences. She will review progress and adjust the way sessions are held so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirror much of an in-person session, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps with focus. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel without losing the structure of regular sessions.
