About me
My name is Victoria Graham, and I am a qualified counsellor. As a therapist, I offer a calm and compassionate presence where you can feel safe to explore what’s going on beneath the surface, where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you want to do this with a face-to-face appointment, online or by telephone is completely up to you. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard, and I work to create a space that feels supportive and empowering.
I offer tailored therapeutic support for challenges such as anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem, self-care, family dynamics and everyday life. With a flexible, integrative approach, I draw from various therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual. I am warm, empathetic, and solution-focused, helping you build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and foster healthier relationships.
I have worked with children and adolescents for over 24 years both in primary and secondary setting as a teaching assistant and an outreach worker. I also work closely with their families. I have significant experience with neurodivergent both personally and professionally. I have worked with individuals who have suffered trauma in their life's and how it affects them in their day-to-day life.
Whether you're an adult seeking clarity, an adolescent, or someone with SEN needing support, or a family navigating unique challenges, I am here to walk with you.
I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their paths to mental well-being. My expertise is in person-centred, however I do use a range of different modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Humanist therapies, ensures tailored support for each client.

How Counselling Can Help:
Life can be overwhelming. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, loss, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck, counselling offers a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.
Counselling isn’t about someone giving you all the answers. It’s about having a trained professional walk beside you, helping you find your answers, gain clarity, and build coping tools that actually work in your life.
Here’s how counselling can make a difference:
- Emotional Relief – Sharing your struggles with someone who truly listens can feel like a weight lifted off your chest.
- Better Understanding – Learn more about how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected—and how to make meaningful changes.
- Practical Tools – Discover strategies to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other challenges more effectively.
- Improved Relationships – Gain insight into patterns in your relationships and learn communication skills that build stronger connections.
- Personal Growth – Counselling isn’t just for “when things go wrong.” It’s also a powerful tool for self-discovery, confidence, and growth.
You don’t have to go through it alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Ready to take that first step? Whether it’s your first session or you're returning to therapy, know that healing starts with a conversation
