Victoria Atherton

I am available weekdays (morning and most evenings). 

I experienced counselling myself as a young person. This for me was life-changing. Ever since, I have been on a mission to make sure young people don’t go through the same challenges that I went through and feel alone. I understand how important it is to find a therapist you feel comfortable with, which is why I offer a free initial telephone consultation.

I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential approach for you to explore and process life events. I can provide you with a safe place to offload, find coping strategies, and help you gain fresh insight into whatever you are dealing with. 

Experience:

I am a highly qualified, experienced counsellor working successfully with children and young people (aged 8+) and also adults; with challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm or relationship or family issues.

I also have experience working with adults and children in the bereavement sector, both in charity and hospice settings. Having provided therapy for a wide range of people and issues, I'm generally happy to work with whatever you may bring.

My qualifications include:

• Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision at The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy.
• MSc Counselling and Psychotherapy (awarded a distinction) at Keele University- BACP accredited course
• BSc Psychology (Hons) - The University of Central Lancashire. (First Class Degree)
• Ongoing CPD training  

Please feel free to contact me by phone, text or email to find out more. I aim to respond to client enquiries within 24 hours.
