About me and my therapy practice

I am an Integrative therapist working with various therapeutic modalities to offer an individualised approach unique to your needs to help you explore and overcome difficulties. Through compassion, individuals can make changes to live the life they desire.

With a 23-year career in finance and the corporate world, I am well versed in the pressures of high-level stress, having worked in London, New York, Paris, and Madrid. After my own journey of loss and bereavement, I came to retrain as a counsellor from 2018. During the Coronavirus pandemic, I started supporting clients over the telephone and via e-counselling for the charities Cruse Bereavement Care and The Listening Place followed by in-person sessions. I have also helped clients in a clinical setting within the National Health Service (NHS). 

I hold a Graduate Certificate in Humanistic and Psychodynamic Counselling and a Level 3 CPCAB Certificate in Counselling. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Diploma in Couples Counselling. I am also a certified Online Counsellor. I provide a safe, confidential space for you to gain insight and self-awareness where, over time, you can learn how to manage stressful experiences or difficult emotions to lead a healthier and happier life. I am a Registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ.

‘Victoria is a great professional; actively listening and looking at the heart of issues. My partner and I are currently working on resolving conflicts, using tools and resources Victoria suggested for us. She is looking at the core, using emotional scale and we are becoming aware of what is triggering us to fall back into conflict. In all her work, Victoria is gentle and respectful in guiding, without traumatising. If someone is in doubt which professional to use-I would highly recommend Victoria’- Anonymous

Practice description

Through compassionate and skilled counselling, I guide clients through issues such as loss, relationship conflicts, transitional stress, and other challenges. I draw upon a range of therapeutic modalities. When given the proper support and care individuals can thrive despite difficult experiences with their innate ability to heal and grow in the wake of adversity.

I offer short and long-term therapy either in-person for adults and couples at my central London practice room as well as online and telephone sessions. I work across a wide range of issues such as loss and grief, abuse, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, low self-worth and work-related stress. I also offer therapy sessions in Greek, French and Spanish.

My first session

The first session is more of a consultation. It can last more than the typical 50 minutes if necessary. The client can expect an assessment and a general chat and information gathering. It is the first step in understanding the client, their beliefs, needs and preferences.
