Victoria Thompson-Clifton

I came to psychotherapy initially as a client nearly 20 years ago and for me it was fundamentally life changing. I was able to find clarity in the chaos that my life had become. I believe I can offer my clients the same opportunity for change that I was offered.

Having spent most of my working life in various sales and administration roles for global businesses and taking roles within voluntary organisations in south London over the last five years. I am skilled and experienced in engaging with people of varying ages, ethnicities, faiths, and backgrounds, and who have all encountered a diversity of life events.

Having lived experience of addiction, mental health, childhood trauma, dysfunctional relationships and abusive relationships allows me to build stronger therapeutic relationships with my clients. I feel that my life experiences both here in the UK and those gained whilst living and travelling abroad bring a greater depth of understanding to my work.

I have been working with Sutton Women's Centre delivering the Freedom Program since 2019. The Freedom Program is a group education program working with victims of domestic abuse. I have also delivered DA training to employees of The London Borough of Sutton.

I am a member of the BACP and adhere to its ethical framework. I have studied a Level 5 Diploma in Relational Therapy; this enables me to work with couples as well as individuals for RELATE and in my private practice.

My practice is based in my home.

In a first session I like to agree a contract for us working together, I will explain the approaches I use and ask you tell me why you have decided to engage with therapy at this time in your life. 

We will also explore your family history, time at school, work life so that we can build a picture of your world.
