About Virginia

Virginia Green is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. She aims to make the first step easier by offering steady support and a non-judgemental space.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversations. She encourages people to name feelings and notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. She uses short exercises and gentle reflection so people can try different ways of coping between meetings.

Her approach mixes several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports taking action toward valued goals. Mindfulness exercises assist with grounding and reducing reactivity.

She also draws on client-centred methods to keep sessions rooted in each person's priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help shifting habits, such as quitting smoking or reducing process addictions. The focus is on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Virginia pays particular attention to men’s wellbeing as one of her focus areas, and she works with issues like communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and money stress. She aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant, so people can get back to the activities and relationships that matter to them.

How ACT, CBT and client-centred work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and issues with motivation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It often includes simple at-home exercises to try between sessions and suits problems like social anxiety and low mood.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s priorities at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the person wants to work on, which helps build confidence and direction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, values and daily routines. That process can involve trying different techniques and adjusting what’s used over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings or skip being on camera when that helps them engage.
