Victoria Wren, BACP, NCPS

Victoria Wren is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self‑esteem, anger and many other concerns. Sessions focus on what the client brings and on recognising what they would like to change.

Victoria listens from the client’s perspective and keeps the pace set by the person in the room. She uses a client‑centred style where the person remains in charge of what they share. This approach favours straightforward conversation and reflection rather than directive instruction.

Her background includes extensive work in education settings and several relevant qualifications, including a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Master of Science in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education for secondary teaching. She is also undertaking PhD studies with the University of Exeter and holds Enhanced DBS clearance.

In practice Victoria helps people talk through day-to-day pressures as well as longer‑standing problems. That includes coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy‑related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career questions, and complex conditions such as bipolar or ADHD. She also works with concerns around bereavement, end‑of‑life matters and the stresses of caring roles.

Sessions are conducted in a calm, impartial manner with an emphasis on steady listening and clear reflection. People who come wanting help with anger often explore triggers, patterns of reaction, and practical ways to change how they respond. The focus is on manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
