I am a qualified BACP counsellor. I have experience in working with a range of emotional and psychological health difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems and addiction. I have extensive experience working in the voluntary sector for Change, Grow, Live- a nationwide organisation supporting people with homelessness and poor mental health. I always start by listening and tuning into your experience , to gain a greater understanding of the reasons you decided to seek counselling.

I am so sorry that the practice is fully booked at the moment. There is now a waiting list for sessions. I would still be happy to talk further about any questions you might have. I have worked as a counsellor for over 20 years and as a psychotherapist for over 15 years and have gathered wide experience of different issues and ways of working. My experience includes working as a psychotherapist for the NHS. The practice in Ramsgate is open from 11am - 8pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. My aim is to provide you with a safe space to explore any issue in confidence. The best way to contact me is by email.

Hello and welcome. Finding the right therapist can feel a bit challenging and I would encourage always to try a few different ones before you decide. You are welcome to contact me to ask any questions that you may have by email or text is the best way to do this and from there we can arrange to speak on the phone at a time that suits you. I have been coaching clients for the last 16 years. My clients have described me as easy to talk to and relaxed, though I do offer a free assessment which is a two-way meeting to see how we get along, so you can dip your toe in the counselling/therapy water with no obligation.

Counselling is all about listening, sometimes to what is not even being said. As a counsellor I have no agenda except your welfare, development and insight, to help you find the path which best suits you. Crucial to this is developing a trusting, consistent relationship within which we can explore far and wide, whilst remaining safe and contained. I am a Registered MBACP counsellor with years of experience in clinical work in community services, GP surgeries and private practice. Talking therapy is nothing new, it helps, it can change lives and transform individuals.

Life can often present us with some difficult and painful challenges. How we respond to these challenges, will vary according to our life experiences, especially our early childhood experiences. Having the time and space to untangle and make sense of our past and it’s impact on our present, will help us move out of unhelpful thinking styles, help us move from being stuck in negative relationships and also help find ways to make the changes necessary in our lives. However, on occasion when the source of a persons difficulty is linked with traumatic experiences, then a more specialised trauma focused approach is required.

I am an integrative psychotherapist and I enjoy working with a wide range of clients on a number of issues, including depression, anxiety, work related stress, trauma, career problems, substance misuse/addictions and family and relationships. I additionally have considerable experience in working with more severe mental health issues and complex presentations, such as personality disorder and psychosis. I prefer to have an initial discussion on the phone prior to meeting. In order to establish what my the client wants from therapy, how sessions will fit into their lifestyle and are their needs and goals realistic.

Have you ever thought "I don't know who I am any more" ? Do you find it difficult to be vulnerable and trust others? Or do you find yourself prioritising other people and their needs before your own? Or feel guilty when you put yourself first? Working with a counsellor can help you to learn how to form a more authentic you, so that you can: Identify and experience feelings. Understand your needs and express these to others. Prioritise and take care of yourself (without feeling guilty). Be clear on your boundaries and be able to establish them.

I tend to think that what makes us who we are is usually a complicated mix of childhood and adult experiences, choices we make, and circumstances beyond our control. I believe that understanding what makes us tick as human beings and as individuals can be incredibly liberating. I also have found that dealing with the world we find ourselves in and the range of feelings that it provokes can be incredibly difficult, and having someone to share this task without judgement can be incredibly helpful.

Hello & welcome. My name is Victoria & I'm a qualified & experienced integrative counsellor & clinical supervisor working with both adult clients, children & young people.

I work in London and Margate Tuesday to Friday. My psychotherapeutic perspective places you, your unique qualities and your individual needs at the centre of the work. Working from a Humanistic Integrative approach makes this possible in that I am continuously cultivating a range of skills from various approaches which enable me to best meet your needs. I consider you as a integrated ‘whole’ made up of body, mind and spirit as well as being in constant relationship with your surroundings. It is important to be able to hold all of these aspects of human experience at once and with equal importance.

I can help you understand your past, learn to manage anxiety & grief and develop self-compassion, in order to make positive changes in your life.

At various points in our lives we may find ourselves needing a little extra support. Sometimes the only way to get a handle on a problem is to share it with a complete stranger in the knowledge that you will not be judged, but supported toward reaching your goals. Whether those goals are to understand yourself better, increase your confidence or self-esteem, move on after divorce or bereavement or to begin to move past traumas and understand what is holding you back in your current life. I am here to help you explore what is happening for you right now.

It can feel very lonely when battling with anxiety or depression: to feel overwhelmed with powerful emotions or to feel without hope or just lifeless inside. In addition, many have found the Covid 19 outbreak has shaken up their lives and caused fear and uncertainty about the future. Maybe you have found time to reflect on problem relationships or unfulfilled life goals or are finding pain, trauma and hurt from difficult times gone by have become harder to cope with. Therapy provides a way to process what’s happening, a tool box for change and growth and a chance to get back in control feeling renewed and hopeful again.

I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting. I offer a safe, confidential space in which you can begin to explore whatever is on your mind. If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression or a specific personal issue, doing so alone can be overwhelming. Often having someone to explore your concerns with can be deeply valuable and clarifying.

If you have come to a point in your life where things have become too much and you feel you or a member of your family need some extra support, then counselling is a great way to reach out. Through building honest, trusting relationships, I aim to help my clients understand and overcome their difficulties while developing tools to help them in the future. I am an integrative counsellor, which means I draw from a number of different approaches to counselling. This allows for an open space where we can find the best way of working which suits you. This might include creative work, sharing my knowledge on theory or using mindfulness.

Anxiety, stress, confusion, grief, and anger are just a few of the feelings that I have seen clients finding relief from, during our work together. I support you in addressing difficult or painful issues from your past and present. By listening to what's going on beneath the surface and through new insights, whatever gets in the way of you reaching your full potential will be brought to light.
