Victoria Simpson
About Me
Victoria is a BACP-registered counsellor with a particular interest in supporting women when they are feeling as though they are surviving rather than thriving. Her clients might have noticed a slow creep of feelings that have become hard to bear or might be struggling due to a specific event, such as a death or change in circumstances.
Victoria spends time to understand the needs of each client and adapts her approach to each individual. Central to her work is the development of a compassionate relationship with the client to enable deep reflection on current difficulties. Together, they look at what often goes unspoken, clarify what feels confusing or heavy, and uncover strengths and perspectives that can guide meaningful change.
Her approach is warm and collaborative, aiming to help the client make sense of their experience, strengthen their inner resources, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and direction in their life.
Areas of Specialism
· Grief after the loss of a partner, parent, pet or friend
