I’m Victoria — a BACP-registered Integrative Somatic Therapist helping adults who are fed up with feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from themselves. I work with emotions and nervous system responses — not just thoughts — so you won’t leave sessions feeling like you’ve talked in circles.

Who I support

You might be here because:

Anxiety, overwhelm or emotional intensity are running the show

You’re exhausted by stress, burnout or over-thinking

Self-esteem, boundaries or relationships feel impossible

Past experiences still show up in your body and reactions

You want calm that actually sticks — not surface fixes

You’re ready to understand you, not just survive life

I work with trauma, relationships, self-worth, depression, grief/loss, neurodiversity (including ADHD), chronic health stress, life
transitions — and more. Every person brings something unique, and that’s welcome here.

How I work

Therapy with me isn’t one rigid method — it’s you-centred and adaptable. I blend:

Somatic awareness (body-mind connection work)

Trauma-informed therapy

Integrative approaches tailored to your needs

Practical tools for nervous system regulation

Together we slow the overwhelm, build real coping skills, and help your body stop treating life like a threat. Everything is optional — you stay in control of the pace and direction.

What to expect

Your first session is straightforward — we talk about:

What brings you here

What you want to change or understand

How you want to work together

No pressure to unpack everything in one go — safety and clarity come first.

A bit about me

I’m professional and grounded, but also real — no therapist mystique here. Clients often describe me as calm, relatable, and honest. My approach honours your experience without judgment.

Before therapy I spent ten years as a massage therapist navigating pain, chronic conditions and stress — which fuels my interest in how the body stores emotion. I’ve also supported young people in college settings and now work exclusively with adults in private practice.

I currently work as a student counsellor for young people aged 16 and older. This role involves short-term therapy that covers issues such as stress, career concerns, anxiety, academic pressure, loss, grief, trauma, neurodiversity, sexuality, relationships, abuse, bullying, and self-esteem.

In private practice, I have experience dealing with trust issues, difficult childhoods, self-esteem, confidence, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, trauma, nervous system regulation, and addictions.

I am currently studying how trauma can be stored in the body and mind and how therapy can address this. This includes teaching skills that empower clients to gain control over their nervous system, which can be transformative for those struggling with anxiety and depression. I guide individuals in discovering their true selves, finding their voice with authentic expression, recovering from people-pleasing behaviours, building confidence, establishing boundaries, and cultivating trust.

Previously: The Eaves, a low-cost counselling service, provided long-term counselling for adults. This extended engagement allows us to delve deeper into emotions and life obstacles, helping clients find effective coping strategies and implement lasting changes.

I also have experience working with individuals in the adult industry and a solid understanding of addiction recovery, including the challenges faced by adult children of alcoholics. Prior to this, I spent ten years as a massage therapist, focusing on pain relief, stress management, chronic illness, and cancer therapies.
