You might find yourself wondering, “why do I keep feeling this way?” or “why do I react like this, even when I don’t want to?”
Hi, I’m Victoria. I work with people who feel stuck in patterns that don’t fully make sense, often in their self-worth, relationships, emotions, or the way they respond to life's challenges. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, people pleasing, a strong inner critic, or a sense that something hasn’t shifted, despite your efforts to move forward. Sometimes our past can continue to play out in the present until it is gently brought into awareness and processed.

Do you look capable on the outside, but inside you are running on empty, constantly on edge, and trapped in survival mode. I see adults struggling with chronic anxiety, heavy overwhelm, and the isolating exhaustion of burnout. I work with those navigating perfectionism, low self-esteem, deep grief, and complex relationship or family patterns —including co-dependency, adult history of adoption, or the impact of narcissism and addiction. If life's personal and professional systems have left you feeling stuck, detached, and carrying heavy emotional baggage, you are not alone.

I Specialise in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery.
I suffered from anxiety&panic attacks for 22yrs due to bullying & narcissistic abuse, which held my back from achieving my goals until I got help. Being a Co-dependent people pleaser meant that I was putting other people’s wants and needs before my own, trying to get acceptance, manage the situation and to keep the peace. This was exhausting until I learned how to take my personal power back

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, self-doubt, or old patterns keep showing up, even when everything seems “fine” on the outside. You may notice tension in your body, feel restless, or repeat familiar patterns in relationships. I’ve been there myself, struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. Many people want a gentler, steadier experience of themselves — a chance to slow down, feel calmer in their body, and reconnect with their own strength and resilience.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
