About Verity
Verity Spencer supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger and career concerns. Verity’s approach is practical and straightforward, aiming to reduce confusion and help people make clearer choices about their lives.
She uses simple, everyday language in sessions and focuses on what matters most to each person. Verity offers a calm and dependable space where feelings can be talked through without judgement.
Background and approach
She explains ideas so they are easy to use between sessions. Verity trained in psychology and holds BACP, which is shown as BACP. Her work combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking and cognitive approaches.
These tools are used to help people understand patterns, manage symptoms and try new ways of coping. Before counselling she worked in radio and television, including overseas, and that experience shaped how she communicates with people from different backgrounds. Many clients have found that this helps when discussing cultural or religious matters.
Sessions aim to help people feel less stuck and more able to make decisions. Verity explains options and supports people as they try new steps. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than rushing progress.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Verity will talk through the options with each person and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what helps and adapts the work if something isn’t useful.
Online sessions via video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or not being on camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations or people who prefer writing. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments.
