Victoria Livesey is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression and addiction concerns. She welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting. Victoria holds a BACP accreditation and brings four years of professional experience to her work.

She creates a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences without judgment. Sessions are practical and grounded, with time spent naming feelings and looking at small steps that can ease day-to-day pressure.

Background and approach

Victoria uses empathy and attentive listening to help people feel heard. Her approach blends client-centred practice with emotionally focused work to attend to feelings in relationships. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people sit with difficult thoughts and trauma-focused strategies when past events keep causing distress.

Together these approaches aim to reduce overwhelm and improve coping. Victoria is comfortable addressing a wide range of issues including intimacy-related concerns, body image, ADHD, burnout and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, ageing and caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aspects of sexual diversity such as BDSM and kink.

Sessions aim to be practical and tailored to each person’s needs. She works weekdays, usually 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday. Sessions can be arranged by following the site steps to match with a therapist and schedule appointments according to availability.

How approaches like EFT and mindfulness work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering non-judgemental attention and listening so clients can find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need space to talk and to be heard without pressure.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings that shape relationships and attachment. In sessions the counsellor helps identify patterns of emotion and interaction, which can be useful for anyone struggling with intimacy or repeated conflicts. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and bring steadier thinking during stressful moments. These techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss options and adapt methods to match goals, needs and preferences so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around. This collaborative stance means approaches may be mixed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make working around work, caring duties or varied schedules more practical for many people.
