Hi, I’m Vic and I am an experienced integrative Counsellor/ Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist & Clinical Supervisor. For those unfamiliar with the (often complicated!) jargon of the therapy world, integrative simply means that I am trained to use different ways of working, depending on the person I am working with. I can adapt how I work to suit you and if something doesn’t fit with you then we can try something else.

It can range from what may appear to be a minor event to major trauma.
I'm passionate about counselling because it has been both life-saving and life-changing for me. Since early childhood I had been anxious and depressed and received very little help until I reached 40, was bringing up 4 children and became very concerned about the effect my moods could be having on them. In counselling I began to experience hope, and was gradually shown how to observe my thought patterns, to look at how my childhood had affected me, and how to recover and change. I'm a different person now, as my husband and friends would tell you. Now I love to help others recover from depression and anxiety in particular.

We all spend a lot of time in our own heads. This means battling difficult thoughts, worrying, feeling confused, catastrophising, or having the sense of going round in circles. Speaking out loud can help to break the cycle. Try talking openly to a professional listener, and a complete stranger who is totally removed from your life. It can offer mental health relief, improve clarity, and build self acceptance.
