About Victoria

Victoria Dann is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She works with adults on common life stresses such as anxiety, grief, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She also addresses relationship and family questions, blended family issues, career pressures and coping with major life changes.

Victoria uses several established approaches to help people think about problems differently and try new ways of responding. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship history influences current difficulties.

Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect to talk through specific situations, try short exercises, and set small, realistic steps to take between meetings. She keeps language plain and focuses on what people can do day to day to feel steadier.

Her work covers a broad list of concerns including stress, addictions, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and fertility or separation worries. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and codependency.

Victoria accepts international clients and conducts work in English. If someone wants to explore coaching alongside therapeutic themes, she includes that within her remit where appropriate.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Victoria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports living by chosen values despite difficult feelings. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and offers practical techniques to change those patterns.

She also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions when past relationship experiences affect current difficulties. That approach looks at how early bonds shape expectations and helps people develop different ways of relating in adulthood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will help assess what fits each person’s situation and adjust the methods used as therapy progresses. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are tried and when.

The original profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work when they are living outside the immediate area, and the therapist can suggest practical ways to use skills between meetings.
