Victoria Dann

Victoria Dann is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She aims to build a warm, respectful space where people feel heard. She does not try to 'fix' anyone but supports clients as they work through difficult moments and make changes that suit them.

Victoria has helped people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and parenting strains. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career-related difficulties. Her work includes attention to compassion fatigue and ADHD related challenges.

Her practice also addresses a wider range of struggles such as body image, attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, blended family adjustments, fertility concerns and separation. Victoria adapts sessions to each person's needs and aims to be sensitive to background and identity, including LGBT matters.

In sessions she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness, alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. She explains ideas plainly and helps people try practical steps between meetings when that is useful.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Victoria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people identify personal values and take small committed steps even when feelings are difficult. Client-centred work focuses on being listened to and understood so people can explore their own solutions. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients try different methods to see what fits best. Goals, day-to-day demands and personal preferences all shape the plan rather than a fixed formula.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face conversation while others prefer audio only or different arrangements; confirm options with the therapist when you schedule to find what suits you best.
