More about Virginia

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • HCPC, BACP

Hello! I am a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC. I was educated and trained in the US (MA in Counseling - Clinical Mental Health and MS in Psychology), and moved to the UK to work in the NHS as a therapist in 2022. I have worked in several mental health settings, from a nonprofit organization to a private practice to a community mental health clinic. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
