About Victoria
Victoria Wren offers a calm, impartial space where people can talk about what is worrying them. She listens and tries to see things from each person's point of view. Sessions aim to help people recognise what they would like to change and to move at a pace that feels comfortable.
Victoria brings 23 years of experience working in education settings. She has supported children, young people and adults with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions and mood difficulties. Her work also spans parenting, career challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD related struggles.
Her main clinical approach is Client-Centred Therapy. That means sessions focus on the person's perspective and priorities, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and reflective feedback. The aim is practical: to help people name difficulties and try out changes they find helpful.
Victoria holds a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Master of Science in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education. She is also undertaking PhD studies with the University of Exeter and holds a PGCE in Secondary Education with Qualified Teacher Status.
People who choose her often want straightforward support that is gentle and steady. She encourages people to stay in control of what they bring to sessions while she offers steady, empathetic listening and help to clarify next steps.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation. In practice this means the counsellor follows what matters most to the client and reflects back what they hear, helping the client clarify their own goals and next steps. This approach is useful for issues such as anxiety, grief, sleep difficulties and coping with life changes.Victoria's background in education and long experience with varied age groups means she tends to work gently and collaboratively. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process - the counsellor will talk through options and adapt the way sessions run to match the client's needs and preferences. The goal is to find a way of working that fits the person's pace and practical life demands.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into a busy week, remove travel time and make it easier to attend regular appointments. Others choose shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when they need a quicker check-in or lower bandwidth. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help choose what works best for everyday life.
