About Victoria
Victoria Prestney-Vaughan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, stress and anxiety, grief, parenting strains and self-esteem concerns.
Victoria helps people learn practical ways to cope and manage difficult feelings. She teaches counselling skills and runs groups as part of her work. Her background includes focused work with young people and support for anger management.
In sessions she uses attachment-based, client-centred and trauma-focused approaches. That means conversations look at how relationships shape current reactions, centre the client’s own experience, and address the effects of traumatic events. Sessions are conversational and aim to build useful tools for day-to-day life.
People can expect short-term practical strategies alongside space to reflect on deeper patterns. Victoria supports exploration of relationship and intimacy issues, as well as responses to loss and major life changes. She also works with people reporting compassion fatigue and those managing attention differences such as ADHD.
Her teaching and group work inform how she structures individual sessions, offering clear steps and skills to practise between meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Online sessions using this approach focus on patterns in current relationships and how those patterns show up in day-to-day life. Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the centre of the session, encouraging reflection and the development of personal coping strategies. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events and supports practical ways to manage trauma-related reactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant to the person’s goals and preferences and adjust methods as understanding develops. Sessions can include practical exercises, reflection and skills to try between meetings so the work continues outside session time.
The specific session formats offered by this therapist are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work and family routines, and some formats can reduce travel time or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and focus to match everyday life and the client’s practical constraints.
