About Virginia
Virginia Toole, BACP, supports people facing grief, anxiety, stress and major life changes. She helps those dealing with loss, addiction, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. Her approach also covers trauma, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and challenges around intimacy and career worries.
Sessions can include short-term goals or a longer process, depending on what someone needs. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak without feeling judged.
Background and approach
The room is calm and welcoming, and the tone is gentle and practical. Virginia listens first, then helps people find small steps that feel manageable. Her work draws on hypnotherapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness methods.
She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and reframe painful stories. These approaches are used to suit each person's situation, not as fixed rules. Virginia has six years of experience in counselling and holds BACP registration, which is noted as her professional credential.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients who prefer remote work. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Session length and pace are agreed together so people can fit therapy around work and family life.
The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day pressures. To start, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then arrange sessions based on available times.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Virginia offers hypnotherapy as an option to help with habits, anxiety and managing powerful emotions through guided relaxation and focused suggestion. Client-Centred Therapy is also a core part of her work - that means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead while offering support and understanding. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment skills that reduce reactivity and help with stress and rumination.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and comfort level, and she adapts them as progress continues. The first sessions are often about deciding what feels most useful for you.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect in writing between sessions. These options aim to make working on difficult issues more flexible and accessible.
