About me

Hi,
Thank you for getting in touch.
I am Victoria, accredited and licensed in the UK since 2013.
I have been on both sides of therapy (individual and couples) so I understand how much courage it can take to reach out.
I first had therapy when I was 22 years old and my mum passed away. My life changed overnight as did my family situation.
I have a focus on relationships, estranged family relationships, blended families and step-parenting.
I offer a type of therapy that is not only academic but through lived experience.
I am also qualified as a Menopause Wellness Professional.
I also have background in helping people to work through trauma and abuse, on motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. I am here to help guide and support each individual to figure out how to move forward in a healthy way. I will always be authentic, patient, non-judgemental and at times I may respectfully challenge you in order to have you look at other
I will also share experiences and challenges I have gone through if relevant to what you are bringing.
The journey of acceptance and self-discovery can be tough at times so if you feel fed up with how things have been and are brave enough to take action and make positive changes, I look forward to meeting you.
Take care,
Victoria

We're pretty new to this and were quite nervous but Victoria put us at ease straight away. It was particularly comforting to me that she had been through a lot of the stuff I have. We've only had 2 sessions but I'm confident we'll stick with Victoria for the foreseeable.

A1 - really enjoyed her sessions. She could relate to my problems and I didn't feel like she was biased.

Work with me!
