Victoria Dilnot

I currently have availability to take on new clients from September 2026.

All sessions can be flexible and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.

Feel free to contact me to discuss availability.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, you don't have to navigate it alone. I provide a warm, down-to-earth space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences at your own pace, completely free from judgement.

As a fully qualified person-centred counsellor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My approach is deeply collaborative, gentle, and tailored to you. Alongside my foundation in humanistic therapy, I weave in insights from psychology and neuroscience to help you understand how your mind and body respond to stress and difficult life events. I work in a trauma-informed and neuroaffirmative manner, welcoming and celebrating all minds, including autistic and ADHD individuals, and I will adapt my practice to fit your unique way of experiencing the world. I also have a passionate interest in how nature and visual art can support healing, which can be integrated into our work together.

I have completed a BACP Accredited L5 Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling & Therapy and also hold a BSc (Hons) Psychology. I have professional membership of both the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and the British Psychological Society. 

While I work with adults across a wide range of life challenges, I have particular experience in:

Anxiety, Stress, and Burnout: Navigating work-related pressures, self-esteem, and daily overwhelm.

Loss and Transitions: Support through bereavement, grief, relationship breakdowns, and major life shifts.

Trauma and Difficult Experiences: Gently processing abuse, post-traumatic stress, and complex emotional history.

Identity and Growth: Exploring neurodiversity, sexual identity, disability, and personal development.

Reaching out can feel daunting, so I aim to make our first steps as easy and pressure-free as possible. I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute telephone consultation. This is an informal chat for us to see if we feel like a good match and to discuss what you hope to get out of therapy. If you decide to move forward, our initial full session will not involve a formal assessment or long forms to fill in.  We will simply note down a few vital details to keep you safe, and then spend the remaining time focusing on what is most important to you.
