Violetta Staron, BACP

Violetta Staron is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. The BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own life and can draw on personal resources to move toward greater wellbeing. Violetta adapts her work to the needs of people from diverse backgrounds, building a collaborative relationship that supports change and growth.

She provides support for a wide range of concerns, including low mood, stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, fear, life crises, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, and coping with life transitions. Her practice also addresses specific focus areas such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, postpartum depression, self-love, sexuality, and women’s issues.

Violetta uses an integrative clinical approach that blends Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - which focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours - with Solution-Focused Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, all grounded in a person-centred way of working that emphasises empathy and collaboration. This combination is designed to help clients recognise unhelpful patterns, explore practical steps for change, and strengthen decision-making and relationship satisfaction. She aims to support and empower people as they take the steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
