Victoria | Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Counselling and Psychotherapy Guildford
I'm Vicky and my counselling and psychotherapy practice is based in Guildford, Surrey, West Horsley, Surrey and East Horsley, Surrey (as well as online).I work with adults as well as children and young people aged 11 and over.
My Work
I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, and will guide you through life’s challenges with empathy, compassion and a holistic, tailored approach to our work.
My work centres on providing a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences to lean towards personal growth and healing.
Background
Before embarking on my journey as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I spent 20 years working as a doctor in the NHS, predominantly as a general practitioner. This rich background gives me a broad and deep understanding of both the emotional and physical aspects of health, allowing me to bring a truly integrative perspective to my practice.
I am passionate about working with people who are facing the challenges associated with life taking an unexpected transition - such as burn out, a chronic physical or mental health issue (including arthritis, diabetes, cancer, neurological illnesses, depression, anxiety) and working on the impact these have on your way of living. I also work with those who have a loved one living with difficulties. My medical background, knowledge and experience as well as my therapeutic training, blend together to aid my work with you.
Qualifications
I hold a Masters degree (Merit) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from Roehampton University, and I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I work with individuals facing a wide range of issues, and I continue to be passionate about helping people navigate life’s complexities with compassion and care.
If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message via the send a message - button.
Online therapy
I currently use a platform called doxy.me for online sessions.This is a very straightforward way of working, and I will send you a link in advance that takes you to my "waiting room". I can then start the session when I see you are there.
The link will always be the same for you, so there is no need for reminders with a meeting link each time.
This system is encrypted and meets the requirements of the GPDR.
