About Verity
Verity Spencer is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports those coping with grief, trauma, parenting challenges, career pressure and low self-esteem. Verity works to reduce confusion and help people make clear choices about next steps.
She trained in psychology (BSc) and holds BACP accreditation, and describes her approach as integrative. That means she draws on client-centred ways of working alongside psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas. In sessions she focuses on listening, understanding a person's view of the world, and helping them notice patterns in thoughts and feelings.
Verity used to work in broadcasting and has experience working with people from many cultural backgrounds. That media work built skills in working with teams and individuals across different countries and contexts. She brings that awareness into sessions and is mindful of clients' religious or cultural norms.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through worries and make practical plans. Her aim is to help people manage challenges, make changes where needed, and feel less overwhelmed by day-to-day life.
She offers work with adults and young people and has experience in school and youth settings. To start, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How her approaches guide online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns, which can help with relationship issues, intimacy concerns and attachment worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and introduces practical steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around school, work or caregiving duties. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can choose what suits your day-to-day life.
