About

About Victoria

Victoria Martin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers a warm, person-focused style. She works from the view that each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. Victoria aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

Over five years of practice inform her work with stress, anxiety and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, family conflict and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Other areas she addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and body-image concerns, and issues linked to self-esteem and anger. Her approach combines client-centred listening with emotion-focused and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions often start with understanding what matters most to the person and then gently exploring patterns and feelings that get in the way.

She draws on relationship-based tools to help with communication and stronger emotional connection. Victoria holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as her professional credential. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Practical matters such as session options, scheduling and costs are outlined through the service sign-up process. Victoria aims to create a respectful space where people can make sense of difficult experiences and try new ways of coping. She focuses on small, realistic steps so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Victoria often draws on client-centred work, which focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks gentle questions and supports you to notice your own strengths. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name and respond to strong feelings in ways that improve connection and reduce repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the goals and preferences of each person. That conversation is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues come up.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make regular sessions easier to fit around life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during busy weeks. It can also allow shorter phone or video check-ins when a full session is hard to schedule, or offer more flexible timing for people in different time zones.
