Infidelity Therapists in Victoria, BC

Are you trying to figure out how to move forward after having your relationship end or discovering your partner's emotional or physical betrayal? My team at Lost & Found Counselling specializes in betrayal trauma recovery. Betrayal trauma is very real and can occur when the sense of safety and security in a relationship is broken due to cheating, unexpected ending of the partnership, abuse and/or lies. Experiencing this type of trauma can completely shake our beliefs about ourselves, about others, and about the world around us. This can feel lonely, scary, overwhelming and confusing.

Now offering weekend intensives: 4-6 hour sessions to deep-dive into your relationship and make lasting change. Intimate relationships require an investment of time, care, commitment, and trust, as well as a willingness to be vulnerable.

As a relationship-focused counsellor, my goal is to provide a safe space for you and your partner to deeply understand - and begin shifting - your interpersonal dynamics in order to build a capacity for greater emotional freedom and connection.

My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues. Most commonly, I witnessed many of those individuals feeling pain and suffering alone. Intimacy and sexuality can be difficult to discuss and can impact your mental health and well-being.

I believe in using a client-centered approach, which emphasizes the role of the client as an equal partner in the therapeutic process. Our sessions will be flexible and tailored around what your needs are on that specific day, while keeping in mind what you have expressed as your primary goals for therapy. You will always be treated with respect, compassion, and empathy, which are the key elements of any successful therapeutic relationship.

This can be an unpredictable world. We live in constant flux in the full spectrum of what this, at times wrenching and often beautiful, life has to offer; birth, death and everything in between. Transitions, diagnoses and unexpected or unwelcomed changes can drain energy, capacity, and our holistic ability to function. My desire is that your energy isn’t being spent internally battling what is, mourning what isn’t and pushing beyond your own capacity.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost or stuck in a holding pattern? I offer a safe supportive approach to help you explore the underlying meaning of your concerns regarding anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, loss of meaning, issues around spirituality and addictions. After twenty years of working with people through creativity-based processes as a workshop facilitator and now more recently as a therapist I've seen that the creative process is a living thing in the human psyche and that each of us has deep resources to help us heal. Together we'll rediscover these vital restorative resources within you.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

People with ADHD are bright, empathetic, and creative. We often struggle with harnessing our uniquely wired brains to fit into a world built for neurotypicals. We know we are capable of so much more, but we're functioning well under that capacity. Examples of the issues we experience include time management, organization, remembering things and motivating ourselves to do things. Other forms of mental illness may accompany our ADHD. However, with some support, we can improve our systems for functioning in ways that are actually fun. We can also improve our intimate relationships, which makes life better all-round.
