About Victoria
Victoria Livesey supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She is a counsellor who aims to make the first step feel less daunting. Her approach is warm and straightforward, so visitors can quickly see whether she might be a good fit.
Victoria has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She focuses on help for depression, addictions, parenting pressures, career worries and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with people facing issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping, and attention difficulties such as ADHD.
In sessions she encourages open conversation and practical thinking. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Techniques draw from client-centred work, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Victoria also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when these fit a person's needs. That means sessions can include short-term goal work, skills to manage difficult moments and careful exploration of past events when it matters to recovery.
She usually works Monday to Thursday between 8am and 5pm. People should check the booking details and scheduling information when they sign up, and follow the Start Therapy steps to match with her and arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Victoria combines client-centred work and emotionally-focused therapy with mindfulness-based ideas to support people through online sessions. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and reflecting back what matters, helping people feel heard and figure out their own next steps. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at patterns in relationships and feelings, helping people spot and change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to manage stress, sleep and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Victoria will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as those priorities change. That collaborative process helps decide whether the focus should be short-term problem solving, deeper emotional work or skills-based practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a busy day or avoiding the need for camera use when that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible ways of meeting, and Victoria will explain what she offers when you arrange your first appointment.
