About Pippa
Pippa Vlietstra offers a warm, person-focused approach rooted in Client-Centred Therapy. She meets people where they are and helps them talk through anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and ways to soothe the nervous system. Pippa uses straightforward language and a steady presence so conversations feel clear and manageable.
Pippa has three years of practice and holds NCPS accreditation, which she lists as NCPS. She sees individuals and couples aged 18 and over and frames work around the goals each person brings. Sessions are paced to suit the client and shaped by what matters most to them.
Her approach blends person-centred values with attachment-aware thinking and body-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to how past connections affect current relationships, and to signals the body gives when stress or trauma is present. Practical ways to calm the nervous system are offered alongside talking therapy.
Pippa often helps people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career worries and life changes. She also supports those facing intimacy concerns, attachment wounds, codependency and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.
Conversations begin with what feels most urgent to the client. From there, Pippa and the client plan realistic steps and check progress together. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier feelings and more workable choices in day-to-day life.
How Pippa's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the client says, helping people feel heard and understood so they can clarify their own goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily signals and teaches simple ways to reduce tension and calming practices that can be used in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which combination of ways of working fits their needs, goals and preferences. That shared decision is revisited as the sessions progress to make sure the plan still suits the client.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and let people check in from a comfortable spot. Some formats make it simple to have a short check-in when time is tight, while others support longer reflective sessions and body-based exercises. When you book, check which formats are offered and how they will match your daily routine and goals.
