Pippa Vlietstra, NCPS

Pippa Vlietstra is a counsellor who uses an integrative way of working that focuses on relationships and the body. She is an accredited member of the NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. Pippa helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those coping with relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people managing grief, addiction-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to ADHD.

Pippa pays attention to how early attachment and current relationships affect day-to-day life. She blends client-centred listening with trauma-focused and somatic methods to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. Sessions aim to help people calm their nervous system, make sense of painful experiences, and rebuild more helpful patterns of relating.

Her work covers practical issues such as communication problems, codependency, commitment fears and feelings of guilt or shame. She also addresses more specific concerns like abandonment, family of origin difficulties, blended family dynamics, and body image or eating-related struggles. This plain approach helps people find steps they can actually use between sessions.

Pippa has three years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Her listed credential is NCPS and is presented as supplied.

How her approaches translate to online work

Pippa uses attachment-based ideas and somatic work in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people find new ways of connecting and trusting. Somatic work focuses on bodily sensations and simple exercises to notice and regulate stress responses, which can help with anxiety, sleep and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences and together decide which methods feel most useful. This is a collaborative process that may change over time as needs shift.

If you want to book, check the session options before scheduling so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other routines and can reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when time is limited or choose quieter ways to connect when less visual focus is needed. Confirm the exact session formats offered before you book to plan what will work best for you.
