About me and my therapy practice
Hello, my name is Victoria,
I am here for you, to understand why it is you are feeling lost, unsure and even wondering who you even are anymore. If you are feeling anxious and it is affecting your life then I am here to offer you a warm, compassionate space for you to be you. To work with you to explore what it is you need to understand yourself and work out what you need to feel more confident and understand what is going on for you. I don't judge or tell you what you should be doing. I listen and work to understand what it is you need to help you become the person you want to be. To offer strategies that can help you be more you.
I have experience working in schools, colleges and charities providing counselling sessions for children, young people and adults.
I really want to find out about you, to really hear you and for us to work together while I support you to explore what it is you need, to move beyond the challenges you are facing and to move in the direction you want to go. I am compassionate and care about providing the space you need to be more you.
I work creatively with children, young people and adults too. Making space for games, crafts, activites in order to create a relaxed, safe place to explore your values, feelings, needs and creating opportunities for building resilience and growth.
There are a few options for in person work, I can meet with you in Skipton or in Cowling and both rooms offer comfortable, confidential spaces for you to feel safe and able to share. I can provide sessions online, on the phone, in person or outdoors providing walk and talk therapy. Please do get in touch with me to find out more about what I can offer you.
