Victoria Dann, BACP

Victoria Dann is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to create a warm, trusting space where people can be heard and understood.

She listens without judgement and helps people talk through stress, anxiety and grief. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Victoria offers practical, down-to-earth support rather than quick fixes.

Her work draws on tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, alongside attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. She adapts her approach to match each person’s needs and preferences.

Victoria also has experience with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she can help with include ADHD, body image, infertility-related worries, blended family tensions, and communication problems.

People who choose Victoria can expect a respectful, steady pace and practical strategies to use between sessions. She encourages small, achievable steps and helps people build on what already works in their lives. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses practical exercises and simple values-based steps to help people move toward things that matter to them while accepting difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. It often suits worry, low mood and coping with strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises or worksheets between meetings and build consistent habits without rearranging their whole day.
