Hi, I’m Vic and I am an experienced integrative Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist & Clinical Supervisor. For those unfamiliar with the (often complicated!) jargon of the therapy world, integrative simply means that I am trained to use different ways of working, depending on the person I am working with. I can adapt how I work to suit you and if something doesn’t fit with you then we can try something else.

I have years of experience working in the NHS as well as with a number of specialist charities. I am confident to work with a broad range of difficulties; ranging from stress, anxiety, to depression or a bereavement. I am compassionate, empathetic and caring. I am also a firm believer in supporting and empowering every individual to reach their full potential and manage their own mental health well.

I am an accredited member of the BACP professional body (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) which means I have completed additional training after qualifying. I am accountable to the BACP and therefore required to work at a high standard.

I respect and care for the many clients I have met through my experience and have worked with lots of different types of people. I ultimately believe that everyone is worthy of respect, and I passionately believe in equality and empowering everyone to reach their full potential in life. From time to time we all need a safe impartial space to explore our challenges, free from judgement. I have accessed and benefited from therapy myself at various points in my life and I believe in it.

Contact me to see if I can help you.
