Hi, I'm Victoria and I'd like to help you work through this difficult time. It’s not easy reaching out so I’m pleased you are making the first steps. I have a background in both Social Work and Counselling which is helpful as I can draw from both disciplines to best support you. I started my career in the UK as a Children and Families Social Worker and have since gained a broad range of experience in the therapeutic field including trauma, mental health, family, and relationship-based issues. I also have a passion for supporting people with ADHD and tapping into their neurodiverse strengths from a lived experience.

Reconcile with the parts of you that you resent by learning where your behaviour patterns come from and how they have been trying to protect you. Learn to communicate your feelings and needs assertively and compassionately, that will leave you feeling seen and heard.

I have been working in this space for over 15 years, predominately with adults who struggle with knowing what type of relationship they want with self and/or others. Part of your journey is understanding what outcomes are most suited to you and your unique circumstance, be it change, growth and development, or to dissolve a relationship or to assist in making a key decision moving forward. The techniques used will assist in finding what is needed to feel more secure within self, or in a relationship and works to differentiate those individual needs, creating a more secure attachment. If this resonates with you, book in a time.

I work with both individuals and couples from a client-centred, trauma-informed approach. Many of the people I see are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, ADHD, relationship struggles, substance use, life transitions, existential questions, and the deep loneliness that can come with these experiences. I especially enjoy supporting highly sensitive people, and those who feel a pull toward exploring their deeper truth.

Many of the clients I work with are capable, high-functioning adults who look “fine” from the outside, but privately feel overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than they should have to. You may be navigating relationship strain, workplace stress, trauma exposure, burnout, or a quiet sense that something isn’t sitting right anymore. Perhaps you hold responsibility for others, at work or at home, and there is very little space where you can be supported yourself. I am a Master’s-qualified counsellor with extensive experience in trauma recovery, domestic and family violence work, and supporting professionals in high-pressure roles.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
