Victoria Simpson
About Me
Victoria is a BACP-registered counsellor offering in-person sessions near Clapham Junction, walk-and-talk sessions in local parks and online sessions for clients across the UK.
Victoria has a special interest in supporting women through significant life events and transitions to achieve real-life change. Typically, this includes grief, identity shifts, and new beginnings (e.g. motherhood, empty nesting, return to work, etc).
Victoria sees clients who need supportive relationships that help them both reflect deeply and work toward the changes they want to see in their life. Together, they look at what often goes unspoken, clarify what feels confusing or heavy, and uncover strengths and perspectives that can guide meaningful change.
Victoria works with clients to explore different parts of themselves without judgement to create greater confidence, direction, and balance in their daily life.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centred, aiming to help you make sense of your experience, strengthen your inner resources, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and direction in your life.
Areas of Specialism
Victoria supports clients (18+) dealing with anxiety, bereavement, relationship challenges, and burnout. Her clients set clear goals and work through past experiences and current struggles.
Over a typical session plan (short-term is usually 10-12 ssessions and long-term is 24 sessions or more) clients gain clarity, greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, increased confidence, and personal empowerment.
Qualifications & Experience
Victoria holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a Master’s degree in Psychology, and is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
She has completed additional training in bereavement counselling, counselling for children and young people, and safeguarding vulnerable people.
Upon qualification in 2025, Victoria’s years of training and practice have her the opportunity to support young children, teenagers, young adults, and adults at all life stages. This has given her a rich understanding of family relationships and how daily pressures, transitions, and life events can shape the ways we cope and connect.
More recently, my work has involved supporting people with:
grief after the loss of a partner, parent, pet or friend
anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, related to work or social pressures
relationship challenges within the family
low confidence and self-esteem
Victoria also volunteers in schools and colleges providing counselling for young people, as well as experience as a bereavement counsellor in an end-of-life hospice supporting clients as they live with their grief.

Next Steps
You don’t have to have the ‘right words’. A few lines about what’s been going on for you is more than enough. Everything you share at this stage and ongoing is treated confidentially, in line with the BACP Ethical Framework.
When you get in touch, Victoria offers a free 15-minute call to explore whether counselling together feels like a good fit. The call typically covers what is bringing you to counselling now, session and client availability, and preferred ways of working. If you would like to proceed, a booking is then agreed for the first 50-minute session either in-person at our Clapham Junction counselling rooms or online.
You’re warmly invited to get in touch for a no-pressure, no-commitment conversation to discuss your needs or ask any questions about beginning counselling. If I am not the right fit for you or you are looking for something different than what I provide I’m happy to help you work through the process of finding someone who is the perfect fit for you.
