Victoria Nash , NCPS

Victoria Nash is an integrative counsellor and hypnotherapist practising in the United Kingdom, holding an NCPS credential and four years of professional experience. The NCPS designation is a recognised counselling qualification that reflects formal training and membership in a professional counselling framework. She combines counselling and hypnotherapy skills to support people through a range of mental health and life challenges.

Victoria has worked with stress and anxiety, panic attacks, addictions and self-harming behaviours, and she has experience supporting clients who have experienced trauma and abuse. She also focuses on self-esteem and confidence, motivation, and a wide range of life transitions including divorce and separation, midlife concerns, and questions about life purpose. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment issues, control issues, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and workplace-related challenges.

Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore the changes they want to make. Victoria uses a flexible, personalised treatment plan that can draw on person-centred work to build trust, psychodynamic ideas to explore past influences, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and hypnotherapy where appropriate and wanted by the client. She is not accepting clients at this time and does not work with international clients.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Victoria often draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy in her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of sessions - it is helpful for improving self-esteem, exploring emotions, and navigating life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, and patterns linked to stress and low mood. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access subconscious processes and can be offered as an optional adjunct to counselling when a client is interested in that method.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt techniques over time to match progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access support from home or work and to choose the format that feels most comfortable. These options can make it easier to attend regularly, coordinate with busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
