About me

Hello, I'm Victoria, a qualified Counsellor and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as well as a Solicitor and Member of the Law Society.

Please come and see me, if you're struggling with aspects of your life, for my exceptional experience and my warm, welcoming, non-judgmental approach. You can talk to me about anything and everything.  My aim will solely be to help you thrive, enjoy your life and achieve your aims.

I counsel many different types of people, from different walks of life, with a variety of difficulties.  My specialist areas are: anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues, divorce and sexual dysfunction, for both individuals and couples.

Recent client feedback:

Victoria opened my mind, gave me clarity and a completely renewed perspective. A totally uplifting experience, I feel refreshed and empowered. Everyone needs a good chat with this incredible woman."  

“Victoria immediately put me at ease, I knew straight away that I would be able to entrust her with my deepest thoughts and feelings.” 

"Thanks to Victoria: looking back if I had told myself at the beginning what I have now achieved, I wouldn’t have believed it."

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a fully qualified counsellor (level 5); a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy; a qualified Solicitor and Member of the Law Society.

I abide by the BACP’s code of ethics and attend regular clinical supervision in my counselling work.  

I have worked with people with an extensive range of concerns, and my special interests are: anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues, divorce and sexual dysfunction.

My therapeutic approach is integrative – I deploy the counselling styles that I consider most fruitful for each individual client or couple, although I use the person-centred counselling model as the basis of that integration.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information

I offer bespoke counselling services for adults.

My sessions last a full hour for individuals, rather than the usual 45/50 minutes offered by the majority of counsellors. I consider one hour provides my clients with the most helpful service.  For couples, my sessions last an hour and a quarter.

I will work to the usual pattern of once-weekly counselling sessions, if you prefer to do so, but you might find that sometimes weekly sessions are unnecessary, dependent on the concerns that you have. For example, we might find once we've started counselling, that it's necessary to meet only once a fortnight or once a month, dependent on your concerns and their impact on you. Similarly, it might be necessary to see you more at the beginning than towards the end of therapy. I can accommodate any of these options, according to your own specific needs.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

One step only needs to be mounted, to access the counselling premises, with which I can readily assist. A ramp is otherwise available. Please notify me of your access needs - I might be able to make further assistance available.
