Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Exeter

My name is Victoria, and I am an accredited counsellor with many years experience of working with life's difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationships, bereavement and trauma. I have specialist experience in working with the ongoing impact of sexual abuse and rape. I offer in-person counselling in a ground floor therapy room in central Exeter, and I also work via Zoom and telephone. I offer a safe, confidential space to talk through issues that are troubling you, at your pace, so you can move forward with your life. We'll work together to establish a trusting relationship, where you feel listened to and understood.

I offer person-centred CBT for people who want to better understand their difficulties and feel ready to engage in support to make positive change. You may be experiencing a new difficulty or perhaps it's something that has been present for many years. You might have some specific goals for change or maybe you hope to develop some specific coping tools to use in everyday life. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, PTSD , bi-polar disorder, voice hearing and psychosis. I currently work at a University training CBT therapists and supervisors. In Oct 2022 I am training in EMDR, a therapy for treating trauma.

I specialise in the field of unresolved grief, loss, overwhelm and trauma. I offer EMDR therapy to clients who seek to fulfil their potential away from painful life events, overwhelming and challenging personal and professional stressors. I have experience in treating single or complex traumas alongside supporting the emotional wellbeing of any individuals at high risk of stress, anxiety and chronic career pressures. Over the last sixteen years as an integrative psychotherapist, supervisor and clinical lead in a busy NHS environment, I have also experienced a broad spectrum of clients' concerns and struggles.
