Victoria Livesey, BACP

Victoria Livesey is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience, registered with BACP - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and the challenges of grief and loss.

Victoria emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored honestly. She works collaboratively with clients to help them name what is most important and to find ways forward that feel manageable and authentic.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can feel daunting, and Victoria acknowledges the courage that requires. She offers steady support throughout that process, helping clients build coping strategies and clarity about next steps. Her typical working hours are Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm, which she maintains to ensure consistent availability for ongoing therapeutic work.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Victoria uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's own experience, offering empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can identify their own goals. This approach is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding or support through life transitions.

She also integrates emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), which helps people explore and reshape patterns in close relationships by working with underlying emotions and attachment needs. EFT can be especially helpful for couples or individuals navigating relational distress.

Mindfulness therapy is used to teach present-moment awareness and skills for managing overwhelming thoughts or sensations, supporting people coping with anxiety, stress, or persistent low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to attend appointments around work, family life, or mobility needs. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to work together consistently from different locations.
