Victoria George Dufour

I offer both online and in-person sessions - in person is from a practice room in Hove. My main availability for in-person sessions is on Wednesdays, and I can offer online sessions in the evenings during the week. 

I’m a psychodynamic and psychosexual relationship therapist, working with individuals and couples to explore emotional, sexual, and relational challenges. My approach is rooted in curiosity about the ways our earliest experiences shape how we love, desire, and connect in the present.

Trained at the renowned Tavistock Relationships, I bring both a depth of clinical understanding and a warm, grounded presence to my work. I’m currently completing further training in Psychosexual Therapy, deepening my understanding of how the body and mind interact in matters of intimacy, arousal, and desire.

I’m passionate about helping people make sense of their inner worlds – their longings, fears, and patterns – so they can build relationships that feel more authentic, alive, and sustaining.

My work is grounded in psychodynamic thinking, which recognises that our current difficulties often have roots in earlier relational experiences. By becoming more aware of the unconscious patterns and internal conflicts that shape our emotions and relationships, it becomes possible to make new choices and create change.

As a psychosexual therapist, I also understand that sexual difficulties are rarely just about technique or physiology – they often speak to deeper emotional meanings. Together, we might explore the relationship between desire and vulnerability, shame and pleasure, or intimacy and autonomy.

Therapy with me is an invitation to reflect deeply and honestly, in a confidential and supportive space. I aim to help you develop greater self-understanding, compassion, and freedom – so that both your emotional and sexual relationships can become more fulfilling and connected.

The first session is treated as consultation, where we have the opportunity to get to know each other better. You will be invited to share with me more detail of what has been troubling you, and what you are looking to explore through sessions. You will also gather a greater understanding of what it might be like to work with me.
