About me
Hello, I’m Victoria (she/her)
I’m an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. Counselling isn’t just my profession—it’s something I genuinely care deeply about. I’ve always been curious about people and feel privileged to support others as they navigate life’s challenges.
I understand that difficult emotions, and situations can sometimes feel overwhelming or hard to face. However, with the right support, exploring these feelings can be a powerful and healing experience. If you're looking for someone to offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and valued, please get in touch.
How I work
I believe that our relationships—with ourselves and with others—are at the heart of wellbeing and personal growth. As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of approaches so that our work together is tailored specifically to you.
This may include:
- Person-centred therapy – supporting self-awareness, acceptance, and personal growth
- Psychodynamic therapy – exploring how past experiences may shape your present
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) – developing practical ways to manage thoughts and behaviours.
Specialities
All I work with all areas of general counselling, I have experience, along with additional training, in supporting clients who have been affected by:
- Trauma
- Domestic violence
- Sexual assault
- Baby loss
- All areas of abortion
I understand that these experiences can be deeply personal and often difficult to talk about. I offer a compassionate, sensitive, and non-judgemental space where you are in total control of the process, setting the pace and focusing on what matters most to you, in a way that feels safe and contained.
Session information
I offer counselling for both individuals and couples, with sessions available in person, online, or by telephone.
- Individual counselling – a one-to-one space focused entirely on you
- Couples counselling – supporting communication, understanding, and connection
Sessions are 50 minutes and can be:
- Short-term (6, 12, or 24 sessions) with a clear focus
- Open-ended, continuing for as long as you feel it’s helpful
We’ll regularly review our work together to make sure it continues to feel right for you.

Member organisations
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.
