| Italiano Welcome to this page. I’m Virginia, an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor passionate about supporting clients who have experienced abuse in meaningful relationships, whether parental or romantic. I work with individuals who are ready to rebuild their self-esteem, trust in themselves, and create safe, fulfilling, and reciprocal connections. If you’re prepared to roll up your sleeves and commit to a deeper work, I would love to hear from you. Together we'll explore the root causes and find a way to empower you making new choices. Trust that wellbeing is possible,and that you are never too broken to build a more fulfilling life.
My therapeutic approach is Rogerian, which means that I regard you as your own expert and so will make sure to create a space to work on the aftermath impact that abuse has had on you. In my practice, I incorporate somatic techniques, such as mindfulness and breathwork, so that you can build inner safety & trust. Let's arrange a free 15 min consultation!
From our work together, you might gain an understanding on manipulative behaviors, identify the role you have in your relationships, set healthy boundaries, work on grief and shame, manage and cope with anxiety, depression, anger or loneliness. Recovering from a relational abuse is truly a spiritual recovery and I can't wait to facilitate yours.

Groups
Peer support group
I run a FREE Peer Support Group for the charity Emotional Wellbeing Counselling, in Wigan, 2 Mondays per month, on a fortnightly basis. The group is small, confidential, and is open to anyone that suffer from anxiety, depression or chronic pain. Some group sessions may involve discussion only, while others may involve group therapy activities. For some people, it takes a few weeks of sitting in and listening before they feel ready to talk about their own experience, so you will never be pressured to do anything you don't want to do.
