Victoria Kershaw, BACP

Victoria Kershaw is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and big life changes. She aims to work alongside clients who feel stuck or unsure about their next steps. Her work is collaborative and straightforward. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on practical ways to build resilience and find direction. Sessions are designed to be a space to talk openly, notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Victoria offers a calm and non-judgemental manner. She helps clients name what feels difficult and break problems into manageable parts. Together they look for strengths to use in everyday life and small steps that can make a difference. She has particular experience supporting people with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, body image and fertility concerns. She also helps with communication and commitment worries, feelings of emptiness, and coping with separation or divorce. Over five years she has worked with a broad range of concerns including dissociation, guilt, isolation and life purpose questions. Victoria encourages practical approaches that fit each person’s situation and values. She asks questions, listens carefully and supports clients as they try things out in their lives.

How clinical approaches shape online therapy

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and low mood by breaking problems into smaller, solvable parts and practising new responses in daily life. Another approach pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment, helping people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating that may reduce conflict or isolation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which fits best. This is a collaborative process that takes into account the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than prescribing one single method from the start. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce time spent travelling. It can allow for shorter check-ins when that suits the day, and it can be helpful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option.
