About Virginia Toole

Virginia Toole offers calm, empathetic counselling for people who feel overwhelmed by loss, sudden change, or persistent emotional pain. She works with individuals who are struggling to talk to friends or family, those weighed down by anger, confusion, or constant life shifts, and people coping with bereavement, illness, aging, major transitions, and the ripple effects of relationship breakdown. Her approach acknowledges the exhaustion of barely managing and the difficulty of taking even one next step toward recovery.

In sessions she creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore mixed emotions, heartache, and the sense of losing a former self. She offers both short-term focused work and longer-term counselling, and provides evening appointments with some Saturday availability by arrangement to accommodate varied schedules.

Virginia aims to help people gradually lower their guard, rebuild trust in themselves, and regain a sense of steady footing amid uncertainty. She brings empathy and a professional, friendly manner to each meeting, supporting clients as they find practical coping strategies and new ways of relating to their experience. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates her recognised professional affiliation.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to keep therapy consistent even when schedules are busy or circumstances change.

Licensed professionals and therapists provide these services, and if someone feels a different fit would help, it is possible to switch practitioners. For many, remote therapy offers a practical, accessible path to regular support and progress.
