About Verity

Verity Spencer is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems. She supports those coping with life changes, grief, trauma and intimacy concerns. Her approach is calm and respectful, with emphasis on listening and practical steps to feel steadier day to day.

Verity draws on several ways of working to suit each person. She uses client-centred ideas to build trust and listen without judgement.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and try out small behaviour changes. Psychodynamic and attachment-informed ideas are used to look at longstanding patterns and how early relationships shape current feelings. Her early career included work in radio and television in the UK and abroad, which brought experience of many cultures and ways of seeing the world.

That background informs a thoughtful, culturally aware style and an effort to understand each person’s context. Verity holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are focused on helping people reduce confusion and make clearer choices.

Conversations aim to increase understanding of feelings and practical coping strategies. The goal is to support people to manage challenges and create realistic change. Verity offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

She encourages straightforward steps to start therapy and works collaboratively to set goals and pace the work.

How approaches and online sessions work together

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and trust. It can help when patterns from the past affect how someone connects or reacts now. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and empathy. This approach helps people feel heard and explore their own solutions at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Changes and techniques are checked in as work progresses so the plan can be adjusted collaboratively.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and maintaining contact between longer sessions.

These formats make therapy more flexible and accessible for people balancing work, family or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer consistent therapeutic support across these options, helping people work through anxiety, relationships and other concerns without needing to travel to appointments.
