Victoria Dann , BACP

Victoria Dann is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works from a person-centred stance and aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. She believes clients know their own lives best and offers support that follows each person's pace and priorities.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Victoria also helps people dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties.

Victoria draws on a mix of practical approaches. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviour, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape current feelings. Mindfulness and client-centred methods also form part of her work.

She meets each person with warmth and curiosity and adapts sessions to fit what the individual needs. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps that can make everyday life easier.

Sessions are available online in English and she works with clients in the UK and internationally. Victoria is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Victoria commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking practical action, useful for coping with life changes and persistent worries.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. That approach can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and patterns that repeat in relationships. Together, these approaches are used flexibly so the therapist and client can find what fits best through discussion and small experiments between sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and fit support around busy schedules. These formats offer flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside day-to-day commitments.
