About me

I am Viola Robinson, an accredited psychotherapist and counsellor with a deep commitment to helping you navigate the complexities of your mental health from anxiety, depression, with a particular focus on trauma, including complex trauma and childhood trauma. I have developed a reputation for my compassionate and client-centred approach to therapy. I am passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your past experiences, process difficult emotions, and work towards healing and personal growth.

Approach: I have a passion for helping people through my training and experiences utilising a trauma-informed approach in my practice, ensuring that each client feels safe, respected, and heard. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, tailoring my methods to meet the unique needs of each client. My work is characterised by empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help others achieve a sense of peace and balance in their lives while helping to educate, raise awareness, remove stigma to help you achieve healing and growth. 

I am not just a therapist; I am a partner and ally in my clients' journeys towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Training, qualifications & experience

Background: With years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including adults facing significant emotional and psychological challenges. I have also contributed to the mental health community as a tutor and workshop facilitator, focusing on topics such as cultural awareness in counselling and the importance of mental health in the workplace.

Specialisations:

  • Complex Trauma: I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced prolonged or repeated traumatic events, helping them understand and manage the long-lasting effects of such experiences.
  • Childhood Trauma: Specialising in addressing the deep-seated impacts of childhood trauma, supporting clients in overcoming the challenges it presents in adulthood, including issues related to attachment, trust, and self-worth.

Operating in a modern way, with cultural sensitivity, I am Committed to normalising therapy and mental health discussions. I operate in a modern way, with cultural sensitivity.

Most of the work I have done has been around childhood related trauma, sexual abuse, historical abuse, anxiety, depression, work/family/relationship issues, loss/bereavement and grief, cultural related issues and personal development.

Mission: My mission is to provide hope and healing to those who feel hopeless, to stand against injustice in all its forms, and to spread kindness through my work. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I am dedicated to guiding you on your journey toward recovery and self-discovery.
