Victoria Nash , NCPS

Victoria Nash is a UK-based counsellor and hypnotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She is experienced in supporting women with issues such as midlife change, self-love, social anxiety and workplace strain. Victoria has four years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential.

She aims to make sessions welcoming and non-judgemental. She works to build trust quickly so clients can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Short-term goals and practical steps are commonly used alongside deeper reflection.

Victoria uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the client's needs and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that began in the past and still affect feelings today. Hypnotherapy is available as an option if a client wishes to try it as part of treatment.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person's comfort level. Victoria offers phone, video, live chat and text-based sessions so therapy can fit around work and family life. People are encouraged to move at their own pace while working towards clearer thinking and steadier coping.

Victoria describes her role as supporting and empowering people as they make changes. She helps clients identify small, achievable steps that add up to meaningful improvement over time.

Approaches and what online therapy offers

Victoria commonly blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship and helps clients lead the direction of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people practise new thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide how much time to spend on reflection, skill-building or hypnotherapy as an optional technique. This collaborative way ensures the plan fits the client's needs and changes over time if required.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, each offering practical benefits. Video sessions let people read facial cues and work more like an in-person appointment. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement and flexible communication between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
