About Victoria
Psychodynamic counsellor, BACP, practising in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. Victoria Ann Reid works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship questions, stress and issues around gender and sexuality. She also addresses addictions, grief, trauma and a wide range of intimacy and identity concerns.
Victoria trained in education before moving into counselling. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experience shapes present feelings and patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques when helpful, so sessions can include reflection on early relationships alongside practical steps for day-to-day coping.
Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to bring. Victoria does not use labels to limit a person's experience; topics such as gender dysphoria, sexual identity, kink, and non-monogamous relationships are all things she will discuss. Work may cover attachment and communication problems, issues with self-esteem, anger, or isolation, and concerns connected to ADHD or autism spectrum traits.
She supports people exploring intimacy, dealing with infidelity, or managing compassion fatigue and seasonal mood shifts. Therapy can also address self-harm behaviours and complicated grief, with attention to both emotions and practical coping strategies. Victoria aims to help clients understand patterns and find clearer options for change.
To begin, people are invited to use the site matching process to book a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location.

How psychodynamic, CBT and mindfulness work in remote sessions
Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and life events shape current feelings and patterns. In a remote session this can mean talking through memories, repeating themes and how they affect today’s choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and usually involves trying small, practical tasks between sessions to test new habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches moments of attention and grounding that help reduce anxiety and manage mood swings.Picking the right approach is part of the therapy. The therapist will work with a client to decide whether psychodynamic reflection, CBT tasks, mindfulness practice or a mix fits best. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as goals and needs become clearer, so work is collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote therapy helps fit sessions around work, family or study commitments and can make it easier to attend from different locations. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, avoiding travel time, and using fewer visual tools when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which format will suit a person's daily routine and goals.
