Victoria is a wonderful therapist, she is kind, compassionate, attentive and incredibly encouraging. I have had many, many therapists in the past who I couldn’t connect with, however this experience of therapy has been the polar opposite. I feel comfortable to share my anxieties and worries and always feel like I’m listened to and understood. I am incredibly lucky to have her as my therapist.
More about Victoria
- 7 years' experience

- NCPS
I am an accredited Integrative Therapist. Inclusive of working for Betterhelp, I have a private practice and volunteer for a suicide and suicide prevention charity. I have varied experience, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, loss, bereavement, identity, transition, self-esteem and confidence.
As a trained professional, I am also a human being who can appreciate how daunting it can be to reach out and seek help. The feeling of being overwhelmed can be a lonely place and as a qualified counsellor I am here to support you throughout, in a safe space, without judgement. Together we can explore practical solutions and work towards your aims and goals.
If you feel ready to make the first step in your counselling journey, I hope after our initial consultation, you will feel confident to allow me to make this journey with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I love Victoria, she was always willing to listen and to help me.
Victoria is a wonderful therapist, she is kind, compassionate, attentive and incredibly encouraging. I have had many, many therapists in the past who I couldn’t connect with, however this experience of therapy has been the polar opposite.

She is great and listens to me
I'm so glad that out of all the therapists I could have ended up with, I got Vicky. She has a very nice balance of being professional and friendly. She makes me feel listened to, is always on time, and makes my concerns feel valid. Would recommend her to my friends and family.
I have had the privilege of having Vicky as my therapist for just over 7 months. She has taken me through a journey of "finding myself " .She's helped me to become more confident in expressing myself without being apologetic. She has been extremely understanding of the issues I faced & has supported me through them. Her approach has been truly amazing, professional & very helpful. I couldn't have had a more understanding & helpful therapist. I highly recommend her!
Vicky has been very helpful, respectful and supportive, giving nudges and nuggets of wisdom as and when needed, she seems to know exactly what to say, when, and in what way, which is quite remarkable and helps immensely encouraging self-growth and self-reflection. Some of the metaphors, imagery and ideas she offered during the sessions I now apply in my day to day life, which has become a powerful tool in different aspects of life. I count myself lucky to have been matched with Vicky on the platform.
So far I’ve had a great experience getting started with therapy.
