Victoria Livesey , BACP

Victoria Livesey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, grief and loss. Her approach is gentle and collaborative, aimed at making the first step feel less daunting.

She works to create an open space where clients can speak freely about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on listening closely and building practical ways to cope. Victoria draws on client-centred methods to prioritise each person’s experience and goals.

She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people notice and work with strong feelings in relationships. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment awareness. Solution-focused tools help set small, achievable steps between sessions.

Victoria has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. Typical hours are Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm, and she offers several online formats to suit different needs.

The work suits people seeking practical support for everyday problems as well as deeper emotional concerns. It can help with coping strategies, rebuilding routines, and improving how people relate to themselves and others.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set their own pace and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and work with powerful emotions in relationships, which can clarify patterns and improve connection. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, useful for stress, anxiety and managing intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs, then adapt methods as the work progresses. This collaborative attitude helps ensure sessions stay relevant and workable for the person seeking support.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their life. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing coaching-style support or days when typing feels easier. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and daily routines.
