Let's Connect (02) 5605 7981
I work with individuals experiencing an array of mental health issues including life transitions, loss and grief and the impact of childhood traumas to name a few. I aim to create a safe and inspiring space to facilitate healing of the heart and mind. I see my role as helping people to find their way in overcoming obstacles and creating ‘a life worth living’ in a respectful, non-judgemental and compassionate manner.
I have a passion for integrating contemporary psychology with Mindfulness-based therapies. I draw from the traditions of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Somatic focused therapies.
To make the the leap towards freedom, sometimes we need a helping hand and a kind word. Get in touch with Vika to discuss your specific needs.
