About Pippa
Pippa Vlietstra is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people manage anxiety, relationships and nervous system regulation. She holds NCPS accreditation and brings three years of practical experience to her work. Pippa listens carefully and focuses on what matters to each person.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She helps people name feelings, notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Her background combines attachment-based ideas with somatic and trauma-focused methods.
Background and approach
That means Pippa pays attention to how past relationships shape current worries and how the body holds stress. She offers ways to calm the nervous system as well as talking strategies to improve everyday coping. People who come to her often want help with anxiety, low mood, grief, stress, sleep or difficulties around intimacy and eating.
Other concerns she addresses include parenting strain, addictions, anger and life changes such as separation and career shifts. Pippa works via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Approaches Pippa lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Somatic therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and how stress shows up in the body. It offers simple, practical exercises to calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety or sleep disruption.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences, and adjust methods as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be helpful when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat offers shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
