More about Victoria
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a female, lesbian Psychodynamic Counsellor living in Southampton, UK.
I have a background in Education and now work with people who are looking for help and guidance in their lives.
I have worked with those experiencing Depression, Anxiety, Gender Dysphoria, Sexuality questions and fears, Stress, Relationship issues and more. I don't believe in labeling things because every single person is entirely different. Whatever you feel you need to bring, will never be 'off the table'.
I am a warm and gentle and person, very aware of how terrifying it can be to open up to a total stranger but if you're reading this, you've conquered the hardest step- realising that you need someone to talk to. Every person I work with I treat with total respect and compassion, confidentiality and understanding. Do get in touch- I look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve one just started therapy with Victoria and the first 2 sessions have been going through my life but Victoria made me feel at ease and made it comfortable for me to open up
A few sessions in with Victoria and I have certainly started to see the benefits; she is very professional, knowledgeable, personable and understanding.
Honestly can't thank Victoria enough. After a mediocre experience with therapy the first-time round, I tried BetterHelp. After just one session, I left the video call feeling lighter and like I could breathe again, after feeling so incredibly clogged in my head and chest. Therapy is a personal experience and not every therapist will click with the person needing help, but thankfully, I feel like Victoria understands what I'm going through and gives me manageable steps and ways of thinking that I can process simply. Thank you so much.
I arrived in a bad way, I matched with Victoria and was immediately in a better place. Our journey is just getting started but I’m already so thankful for the support and guidance that I have received. Victoria has really helped me to understand what I’m going through and how I can come out with even more love in my heart. I will be forever grateful for the time Victoria has given to me
Victoria has been a wonderful therapist for me. She’s kind, compassionate, and has been able to break down my concerns into something more manageable.
