Meet Victoria | Your Therapist at Diverse Therapy
Compassionate Care, Tailored to You
My personal experiences have profoundly influenced my understanding of mental health and well-being. As a woman who discovered later in life that I am Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD), I have experienced a feeling of being out of step with the world without fully understanding why.
I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of connection, a feeling I only began to experience when I trusted those around me.
My goal is to create that same sense of trust with you by working in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming way. I am committed to nurturing an inclusive environment where you feel your experiences are validated and your voice matters.
This is why I founded Diverse Therapy, a counselling service designed to provide a safe and welcoming space for you to explore, heal and grow.
Please see my Services page for more information about the counselling services I offer.
My Approach & Common Issues I Work With
I am an integrative counsellor, meaning I have a range of therapeutic approaches which I can draw upon within our therapy sessions. These approaches are humanistic, non-directive talk therapies, including Person-Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis.
I support clients experiencing a range of issues including: anger, anxiety, apathy & depression, grief and loss, overwhelm (burn-out), relationship difficulties, rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), low self-esteem,, self-harm, shame & trauma.
Working in a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming way, I adapt my approach to meet your individual needs. Within our counselling sessions, we may work towards:
- Identifying patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you
- Making connections between past experiences and current challenges
- Enhancing your self-awareness
- Developing coping strategies, and
- Making positive changes to your life.
I offer a confidential space where clients explore their feelings, gain insight into their experiences, and work towards healing and personal growth.
