Victoria Wren , BACP, NCPS

Victoria Wren offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem and a wide range of life challenges. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Victoria works with people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, and with those coping with major life changes such as divorce, bereavement or serious illness.

She creates a calm, impartial space where people can say what is on their mind. Victoria listens and tries to understand things from each person’s point of view. She encourages clients to notice what they would like to change and to take steps at a pace that suits them.

Her style is gentle and compassionate. Sessions are led by the person attending and Victoria follows their pace and priorities. The focus is on helping people recognise options and build practical ways to manage daily stresses and longer term problems.

Victoria draws on client‑centred therapy principles to keep the relationship respectful and collaborative. She has worked in education settings for more than 20 years and brings that experience into sessions with adults. Her background includes a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling, an MSc in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education and a PGCE in Secondary Education.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has an Enhanced DBS. Victoria is based in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. If someone prefers, she can adapt how sessions are run to match individual needs and life circumstances.

Client‑centred listening and online access

Client‑centred therapy focuses on giving people space to speak without judgement. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what is said to help the person understand their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship concerns where being heard is the first step to change.

Victoria brings a calm, collaborative approach to deciding how therapy should work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs and then shape sessions together. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she adapts the pace and focus based on what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls are good for face‑to‑face conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check‑ins and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work.
