Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming.
I work with you as an individual. Together we can explore your presenting behaviour, emotions and situation, the reasons behind it and create tools and strategies to move forward in a more positive way. My approach is very solution focussed providing practical help and empathetic support to help you reach your goals.

My early life was shaped by loss, complex family dynamics, and growing up quickly, which influenced how I understood emotional safety, attachment, and relationships.
English & Russian Speaking - I work with adults who may seem capable and “fine” on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, self-criticism, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs. Some grew up around criticism, high expectations, or environments where emotions didn’t feel fully safe. Together, we gently explore these patterns, helping you better understand yourself, build self-compassion, and feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported.

Life often feels overwhelming, filled with challenges that tug at our inner peace.
I believe in individuals' capacity for growth & change. Each session is designed with processing and healing in mind. Check-In & Exploration: We begin with a focused conversation to uncover the challenges you’re facing, allowing space for self-expression and clarity. Hypnotherapy if required: Based on your needs, this portion is individually tailored.

I work mainly with clients who may be struggling with the long term effects of trauma, those suffering with anxiety, and anyone going through a major transition in their life.
Everybody should have a Victoria. I've heard this from many clients over the years. My clients feel seen, heard and truly supported through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Unlike some therapy and counselling approaches, I believe that just talking about what's going on for you isn't going to cut it. So instead of just talking, we will work with a variety of interventions, tools and techniques - together - on your issue. My goal is not just to manage your problem, but to get as close to resolving it as possible.

Hi there, my name is Ellie and I am a Counsellor specializing in trauma and the common coping skills that develop from it's effects. These include the areas of disordered eating, body image issues (including body dysmorphia), addiction (self-medicating to avoid the effects of trauma), being drawn to abusive relationships and patterns of becoming stuck and paralyzed in these damaging dynamics. The heart of my therapeutic work is to help clients discover their authentic self and to gently dis-engage from painful old beliefs they may have internalized from complex and overwhelming environments.

I truly believe in the life-changing benefits of counselling and would encourage everyone to try it.
This is where counselling can really help. Together, we take time to gently explore the areas of pain or anxiety that may have felt too difficult to face alone. Along the way, there can be moments of insight, relief, and even joy. Many people experience a significant easing of anxiety and emotional pain as understanding grows.

Perhaps you're feeling down or anxious, maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead.
My view of therapy is that it requires a holistic approach. I work in an integrative manner, which means I use a variety of tools depending on client needs, including person-centered and CBT, as well as mindfulness and self-compassion. A good deal of my experience is working with men, and members of the neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ communities.

I use an integrated , client-led approach derived not only from my years of training, but also from a wealth of life experience.
I've worked with people of all ages and from all walks of life, including within the LGBTQIA community. I've worked extensively with those suffering from anxiety/depression, relationship/family issues, health concerns, trauma, bereavement and addictions. I have an understanding of ADHD and ASD and I've worked with teens and adults in all of these areas.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
