Victoria Wren , BACP, NCPS

Victoria Wren creates a calm, impartial space where people are invited to speak about whatever is on their mind. She listens attentively, seeks to understand each situation from the client's own perspective, and supports exploration of what a person would like to change or experience differently. With 23 years of experience across education and counselling settings, she works with children, young people and adults facing a wide range of challenges and life transitions.

Her style is compassionate and gentle, rooted in client-centered principles that place the individual in charge of what they bring to sessions. Clients remain in control of the pace and the content of counselling, and Victoria aims to facilitate each person’s potential for lasting healing and change. She works with issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career matters, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, and many other areas listed on her profile.

Victoria holds a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling, an MSc in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education, a PGCE Secondary Education (QTS), a BSc in Environmental Science and a BTEC in Advanced Forest School Leadership.

Client-Centered and Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Victoria works from a client-centered framework that prioritizes the individual's experience and choices. This approach involves active listening, empathy and non-judgemental support, helping clients to explore their feelings and identify the changes they want to make. It is well suited to those seeking a supportive space to process stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and life transitions.

In addition, Victoria's training in integrative counselling means she draws on complementary techniques as appropriate, tailoring the way she works to each person's needs rather than following a single rigid model. That flexibility can help when clients present with a mix of issues such as trauma, mood difficulties, or challenges related to parenting, career or identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Victoria will work with clients to identify methods and goals that fit their priorities, adjusting pace and focus as the relationship develops. Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and location. These options can increase accessibility and help maintain continuity of support even when schedules or circumstances change.
