Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Narrative and person-centred approaches in online counselling
Victoria uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories they carry about themselves. This approach looks at how life events, relationships and labels shape a person’s sense of self and it can be useful for relationship issues, identity questions and coping with big changes.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said and working at a pace the person finds manageable. Existential ideas are woven in too, helping people face questions about meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, past experiences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try approaches, review progress and adapt the way they work to match changing needs.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life while keeping the focus on making steady, meaningful change.
