About Verity
Verity Spencer is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self‑esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports those handling grief, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties, as well as sleep problems and parenting concerns.
Verity keeps sessions calm and reliable. She offers a space to talk through feelings and to see situations from a different angle. Her aim is to reduce confusion so people can make clearer choices and manage everyday challenges.
Her work draws on an integrative background. That means she blends person-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking and practical elements from cognitive behavioural approaches. She uses these methods to help clients understand patterns in their relationships, their thoughts and their emotional reactions.
Before counselling, Verity worked for several years as a news broadcaster in radio and television in the UK and abroad. That experience helped her become familiar with people from many backgrounds and cultures, and she is mindful of different religious and social norms in sessions.
Verity practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She aims to create an open, non‑judgemental space where people can explore their feelings and work towards manageable change.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting. Client‑centred therapy centres on listening and empathy, giving people space to speak and to make their own sense of things. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs and day‑to‑day life. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and reviewing what helps over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check‑ins during a busy day or to join a session when leaving work is difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available and how they might suit individual routines and technology comfort.
