Counselling in E2

Some people seek psychotherapy and counselling because of a quiet desire for something more, some because of an absence of joy and liveliness, some feel a lingering sadness, some find themselves in shallow relationships, some are suffering the pains of depression, anxiety or anger, some feel close to madness, some are curious to take a closer look at the riches within.

I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. I work with a wide variety of emotional difficulties, mental health challenges and relationship issues. I provide a nonjudgmental, confidential, safe and welcoming space for you to talk about any issues that might be concerning you.

It is often when we feel the most comfortable and at ease, does our authentic-self seep out. This is you unfiltered, unapologetic and unscripted. However, how many times do we allow ourselves to experience this? Not very often, right? Many of us wonder through life wearing a mask, trying to uphold the image we have learnt to create for ourselves - whether it’s the ‘trying-to-keep-it-together parent/partner’, the ‘reliable, always there for you friend’ or the ‘ambitious, life-goals-in-hand determined individual’.

Welcome, I am Victoria Kearns (she/her), a COSRT and MBACP registered Integrative Psychotherapist with specialist training in supporting couples and individuals with relationship and psychosexual problems. I offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space in which you can explore and reflect on your challenges, the way in which these affect you and your hopes for change. Sometimes the work will look backwards, reflecting on your past relationships or the dynamic between yourself and your partner, and at other times it will look forwards, and I may invite you to try different ways of connecting with yourself or others.

I am an integrative practitioner which means that my practice is influenced by more than one approach. In my work I focus on adapting the best-suited approach to your individual needs. This might entail helping you find coping strategies to address specific symptoms or assisting you to increase understanding of yourself and your relationships with others. I am also using DIT model (Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy) which is a 16 sessions time limited therapy aiming to identify and change unhelpful patterns affecting your important relationships and professional achievements.

I provide a welcoming, non-judgemental therapeutic space for you to explore your issues in an open, honest, safe, confidential way. I work with a wide variety of people with different issues. Whatever you are seeking support for, I am happy to discuss how I can help. You may be seeking support with low mood, anxiety, depression, LBGT+ issues or adjusting to a family member's LGBT+ identity. Or you may be seeking to explore your subconscious and what is causing your thoughts and feelings. I have additional specialist expertise is in working with positive HIV diagnosis, helping people adjust and thrive while managing their condition.

People come to psychotherapy and counselling for many different reasons. Perhaps it is a time of crisis or difficulty when feelings have become overwhelming and difficult to share with people that you might normally. It could be that this is linked to a desire to gain a deeper self-understanding. Simply talking to the right therapist for you can provide relief. I have a wide experience of working with different conditions and situations, in particular depression, anxiety, anger and relationship issues. I work with an emphasis on facilitating your enquiry in a safe and effective way, within a supportive relationship.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or stress, I would like to help you find your own unique way of overcoming these emotional difficulties , and offer you the space to explore how it's really like for you at the moment. My wish is that you come to create the life and relationships that you yearn for, including a positive relationship with yourself. Trained as a person-centred counsellor , I have several years experience working for a mental health charity and in private practice.

I consider all my clients as unique individuals -- my role is not to judge you or label you, rather, my role is to help you reach your full potential in all aspects of your life, working towards you living the life you desire. I provide a confidential, warm and non-judgemental space where together we will explore your difficulties to gain insight and understanding, working towards you developing a fuller sense of who you are and what you need from yourself and your relationships to promote positive change.

Feeling, overwhelmed, down, anxious or afraid something terrible could happen? Giving voice to your feelings can be a way of finding alternative responses to these painful feelings. I offer the convenience and flexibility of online therapy.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 25 years in the NHS, voluntary sector and privately. I trained as a Freudian psychoanalyst having worked in the mental health charity sector for some years. I like to work with a range of people, usually on a once weekly or more frequent basis. I work with people who are seeking to understand themselves better - their relationships with others as well as with themselves. I hope that I can help them make sense of difficulties or challenges in their lives in order to live more fully and creatively.

The decision to invest in your mental health is a commendable and brave step to make, however I understand that it can be intimidating to know where to start. Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe that I can help to create a safe space, in which, together we can explore how to better understand your emotional difficulties, appreciate your skills and strengths and enable you to feel better equipped to build and manage a meaningful life.

Hello, I am experienced with more than 27 years experience as a Person Centred therapist. I offer a non judgemental space where you can safely explore anything that you would like to talk about. No issue is too difficult or too small. It all matters. Together we can find ways for you to feel happier, resolve issues, and carry on. I have a wide range of experience of all different issues and will meet you with total acceptance.

People enter therapy for many reasons. Sometimes it's very specific but many times it’s hazy and unclear what we actually want. We can just get stuck in the reeds of daily life. Is therapy the answer? I think so. My guarantee is a commitment to get down and do the work with you in your search for a better life. I'm not a traditional counsellor. I like to be honest with my observations but primarily I am here to listen and help you find your own path.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and hard to handle. I provide a space to talk through the things that are making you feel anxious, sad, stressed or perhaps a bit lost. Setting aside time to focus on yourself and talk about the things that are causing you distress can really help to bring new perspectives and ease some of the anxieties that can hold you back from living in a happy and fulfilled way. I aim to work with you through some of these things to help bring clarity and insight, which in turn can help improve how you feel day to day and allow you to take charge of who you are and how you navigate the world.

I’m here to offer my expertise and and my eight years of therapeutic experience to those who feel they need support and understanding, in whatever area of their life has become difficult. Together we can seek the answers to your issues and hopefully as we explore, we will come to a clearer place with more security and more peace than we had before. We are on path whilst you are int her apt and there will both joys and challenges along that road.

I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Coach. I work with adults of all ages and with people of all sexual and gender identities. My theoretical background is psychodynamic, based on an understanding that early experience is often significant for our psychological development; aiming to work with unconscious as well as conscious components of experience. However, I work intuitively with what the client brings into the session. I offer a transpersonal and humanistic perspective and an opportunity to reflect on both past and current experiences in a secure and stable environment.
