Pippa Vlietstra

Pippa Vlietstra is a counsellor who draws on attachment-based, client-centred and somatic ideas in her work. She holds NCPS accreditation and focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and nervous system regulation. Pippa aims to make the first step towards change feel manageable and clear.

Pippa has three years' practical experience working with adults. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where conversations are grounded in everyday life. Sessions look at patterns that affect current relationships and mood, and include gentle body-aware techniques to calm the nervous system when that is helpful.

Her background includes work with issues often linked to early attachments, such as abandonment and attachment difficulties. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions and anger. Practical strategies are offered alongside reflective conversation to help people notice small shifts in thinking and feeling.

Pippa pays attention to how eating, sleeping and stress interact with mood and relationships. She can help with communication problems, codependency and the strain of separation and divorce. Work on career stress, life changes and decision-related worries is also available.

Therapy is offered in English from the United Kingdom. Pippa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time; cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's calendar.

How Pippa's approaches work in online therapy

Pippa uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when difficulty trusting others or repeating old relationship habits causes stress or conflict.

She also uses Client-Centred principles, which mean sessions follow the person's own concerns and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Pippa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques accordingly. That collaboration helps decide whether more conversational or body-aware methods suit a person's needs.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a lunch break or to maintain continuity when life changes. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so sessions match your routine.
