Pippa Vlietstra, NCPS

Pippa Vlietstra is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to support people facing midlife change and related stresses. She holds NCPS accreditation and focuses on easing anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and nervous system regulation. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make clearer choices and feel steadier day to day.

Pippa combines attachment-informed thinking with client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. She also draws on somatic ideas that link bodily tension and emotion, and trauma-focused work when past events keep returning. Sessions tend to focus on what helps now and what can change over time.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and career pressures. She also supports people navigating relationship problems, parenting challenges, ADHD and the fallout of family-of-origin issues. Pippa pays attention to patterns such as abandonment, codependency and communication problems.

With three years' experience, she works with adults aged 18 and over. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. Fees vary by location and availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Pippa uses attachment-based ideas to notice how relationship patterns show up in present life. This approach looks at how past bonds shape current reactions and can help with commitment issues, communication problems and intimacy concerns.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person's priorities and pace. The counsellor listens actively and reflects what matters most so people feel heard and make clearer decisions about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore needs, goals and preferences and suggest which combination of methods fits best. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or evenings. It can also support shorter check-ins when daily stress is high or quieter conversations when energy is limited.
