Victoria Wren

Victoria Wren welcomes people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She offers a calm, impartial place to talk about what is on your mind and to think through what you want to be different. She emphasises listening from your point of view and moves at a pace you set.

Victoria uses a compassionate, gentle style to help people explore their feelings and options. Her work is rooted in client-centred therapy, so the person in the room leads the conversation while she reflects and supports. Sessions aim to help people find their own solutions rather than imposing a set course of action.

She has more than 23 years of experience in education settings and counselling roles. That background means she is used to working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges such as ADHD and depression. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is listed among her focus areas.

Victoria holds a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Master of Science in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education. She is also studying for a PhD with the University of Exeter and has a PGCE in Secondary Education with Qualified Teacher Status.

People keep control of what they bring to sessions and what they share. Victoria works to create a steady, respectful space where exploration and slower change are possible. Her approach is steady, patient and centred on the person seeking support.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-centred therapy puts your experience at the centre of the sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows your lead so you set the pace and focus. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and many life transitions by giving you space to be heard and to make decisions about change.

Victoria’s general way of working is gentle and supportive, aiming to help people find their own solutions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you can choose how best to proceed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue support during life events that make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt their ways of working so the approach suits your day-to-day life.
