Victoria

Perhaps you have are struggling with depression, anxiety or the lingering impact of past experiences. You may notice an inner critic. You may find that relationships feel difficult, lacking closeness, becoming turbulent, or leaving you feeling frustrated and misunderstood. Sometimes the same patterns seem to repeat, even when you want things to be different.

I work with people who want to explore these experiences more deeply. Therapy can be a space not just to manage symptoms, but to understand what sits underneath them and begin creating meaningful, lasting change in the way you relate to yourself and others. My approach is integrative, drawing on Gestalt, psychodynamic and CBT perspectives. In practice this allows us to explore both your past experiences and what is happening for you in the present moment. Together we can begin to notice patterns in how you think, feel and relate.

The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. I aim to create a space that feels open, thoughtful and genuine, where you can bring whatever feels important to explore. At times this may include gentle challenge, as part of my shared commitment to your goals.

Alongside my private practice, my background includes working within NHS and third-sector mental health services in West Yorkshire. Throughout my psychotherapy training I have also volunteered as a counsellor at Phoenix Health and Wellbeing since 2023.
