Victoria Toussaint Thomas is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, relationship and workplace worries.

Her way of working aims to make things feel less overwhelming and more manageable. She works from a person-centred perspective that treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening closely and reflecting back what matters most to the person in the room.

Background and approach

This creates space to think through emotions, patterns and next steps without pressure. Victoria also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. That can be useful for issues linked to attachment, abandonment, guilt and shame.

She uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice different parts of themselves and to heal stuck or reactive patterns. Therapy with her can include talk work alongside simple creative tools such as drawing, visualisation and breathwork. These options are offered to help people reconnect with themselves and try different ways of coping.

Sessions are paced to suit the person’s needs rather than following a rigid timetable. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, career challenges, compassion fatigue and midlife questions. Conversations are guided by what the client wants to explore and the changes they hope to make.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. It helps with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by creating a space where clients can talk through their own priorities and make sense of their feelings.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice recurring themes like attachment or abandonment and begin to change long-standing reactions.

Internal Family Systems supports people to identify different parts of themselves - such as the anxious part or the self-critical part - and to dialogue with them. This can ease impulsivity, shame and inner conflict and help build self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit each person. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy is offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel.
