About Me
I am a fully qualified counsellor and also a solicitor.
I came to counselling and psychotherapy as a second career, owing to witnessing a number of very difficult experiences unfold among close friends and family, including cancer diagnosis, sexual abuse, psychosexual difficulties, psychosis, gender dysphoria, eating disorders and depression, which I felt I needed to learn professional skills to handle.
My interest in psychology and how human beings respond to trauma also stemmed from my work as a solicitor for the Government Legal Department, where I advised on issues relating to war, terrorism, national security and natural and man-made disasters, as well as major transport accidents involving significant loss of life.
In both life and work, I have witnessed the enormous benefits that counselling can bring to human beings in crisis, and now my paramount aim is to assist others in the same way.
“I am very grateful for Victoria’s encouragement, support and guidance as a counsellor and a coach. Our sessions were invaluable and helped empower me to achieve my personal and career goals. I can’t recommend Victoria highly enough.”
