As a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist I have experience of working with people suffering from a variety of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem and confidence, social anxiety, health anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n
I am skilled and experienced in working with adults, teenagers and younger children, and I can deliver therapy on a one to one basis or with partners and family members based on the person\u2019s needs. I am experienced in and able to offer school observations, liaise with schools, GP\u2019s and other education, social care and health professionals if required.<\/p>\n
On occasions when it is clinically appropriate, and the persons available time to meet their therapy goals is very pressured, I can consider providing short intensive courses of therapy.<\/p>\n
Having worked in a mental health neurodevelopmental team I have particular specialist skills in working with people with additional needs such as autism, ADHD, learning difficulties and downs syndrome. On occasions young people present with challenging behaviour or distress but are unable to engage in therapy. I am skilled in thoroughly observing and assessing these young people\u2019s behaviours and in turn developing positive behaviour support plans to help parents and teachers support these children in becoming less distressed.<\/p>\n
I additionally have specialist skills in working with people effected by trauma and post traumatic stress, having delivered trauma therapy to 999 service personnel, military personnel and working in a specialist trauma service for those effected by homicide.<\/span><\/p>\n I maintain my professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery council as a psychiatric nurse, and work for the NMC clinically assessing international nurses skills to ensure they meet the standards required to work in the UK.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Subtitle” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”Montserrat||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_delay=”100ms” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” text_text_align=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]I am a University lecturer and produce teaching and lecture in subjects around the assessment and treatment of child and adolescent mental health difficulties, OCD, Post traumatic stress, self-harm and supervision.<\/p>\n My range of professional experiences are really important in helping me to help others. However, I truly believe it is my lived experience of having experienced my own mental health challenges, and being a mother to two children with additional needs, that really makes me the therapist I am today.<\/p>\n Although it did not feel like it at the time, I consider myself fortunate enough to have suffered from my own mental health difficulties, and to have received cognitive behaviour therapy which helped me to recover.<\/p>\n I believe this really helps me to understand what it is like to be sat in the other chair receiving CBT, and also how lost and helpless you can feel when you are struggling with your mental health.<\/p>\n When I was suffering with my mental health and was looking for a therapist myself, trawling through the internet, the most important thing that I was looking for was the reviews that the therapist had received from their clients.<\/p>\n I believe these are so important, and I am incredibly grateful to some of my clients for providing me with reviews in order to put others minds at ease about who they will meet if they come for therapy with me.<\/p>\n Please take a look at the reviews I have received in order to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Video Section” module_id=”TESTIMONIALS” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#ffffff 65%|#fcd21d 65%” background_color_gradient_start=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_start_position=”65%” background_color_gradient_end=”#fcd21d” background_color_gradient_end_position=”65%” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Video” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”35px|0px|0px|0px” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_blur=”35px” box_shadow_spread=”10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.9em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Montserrat|700||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”42px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||-1px|||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”36px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_slider _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”20px||76px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n I first met Vicky when I was struggling with anxiety and depression whilst at University, and will forever be thankful that I found her. I had tried a couple of different therapists and counsellors before but never really clicked with anyone as well as I did with Vicky. Having suffered from mental health difficulties herself, she is extremely empathic and I always felt that she really knew what it was like to be sat on the other side of the table! This helped me to feel comfortable and to open up to her. Together we worked on my depression and social anxiety and the low self esteem underlying them, using a very personalised approach with elements of CBT and mindfulness. Her down to Earth attitude and fantastic sense of humour made our sessions fun \u2013 not something I ever expected from the therapy room! Before my sessions with Vicky I was struggling to function, experiencing frequent panic attacks and very low self confidence. I now feel much more confident in myself and my capabilities, no longer experience panic attacks (although if I did experience one I would know how to deal with it!), and since receiving therapy I have studied abroad, finished my degree and travelled across a continent \u2013 all whilst managing my mental health using the knowledge I gained during my time with Vicky\u2019.<\/p>\n Miss BW<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n \u2018At one point I was very worried about my adult son, who has a learning difficulty and was suffering from all sorts of anxieties and fears. We started going to see Vicky and gradually over the next few months he developed much greater awareness of his own potential as well as learning how to combat the anxiety. This really boosted his confidence\u2019.<\/p>\n Mrs SR<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n \u2018The value of Vicky’s support, through a very difficult period in my life – caused by money worries, legal and family issues – was huge. Her calm methodical and knowledgeable approach to determining the underlying causes of my extreme distress and then helping me to regain perspective were, without doubt, the difference between me being able to function and feel more in control of my life again or succumbing to depression. Vicky helped me, through a structured approach, to develop mindfulness based coping strategies which I practice regularly and depend upon at times of stress\u2019.<\/p>\n Mr DM<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n \u2018Our daughter at a young age suddenly developed an overwhelming fear of dogs, however large or small, cuddly or cute. Vicky helped her through those fears by talking to her gently and understanding her. Vicky was not only wonderful with our daughter, but also with us, she helped guide us through her very difficult and sometimes debilitating fears. We used lots of age specific guidance from Vicky to help in-between sessions. We couldn\u2019t be more grateful, with her professional but warm and friendly help, our daughter no longer has to think about being around dogs, in fact, she now loves them!

In the first session she diagnosed me with OCD. Using her no nonsense approach, within a few sessions she gave me tool sets and coping mechanisms which have totally changed my life. She has not only enabled me to deal with and manage my OCD, but to actually enjoy and be able to live my life again , which I thought would not be possible!\u2019\u2018<\/p>\n Mr N<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n \u201cMy son was finding school very stressful and difficult this year, frequently finding groupwork, the dining hall and carpet time overwhelming and having to work at separate tables and often running out of the room when the class became too noisy or he felt unable to compete tasks. He was able to talk through how he felt with Vicky and she helped him to understand why he was reacting the way he was, and then gave him a range of age appropriate strategies to help. Since starting therapy he has been much more settled at school, and has been finding it much easier to cope with the stress of a busy and noisy classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n Mrs N<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n \u2018I would highly recommend Victoria as a therapist. Victoria helped me get through one of the lowest points of my life and I can\u2019t explain how grateful I am for all the help and guidance she gave me. Everything I told her (in which I was scared to tell anyone) she took and advised without judgement. I always came out of each appointment feeling a little bit brighter and I was at a point I never thought I would. I don\u2019t think I would be where I am today without her help and support. I have seen many therapists in my life, but Victoria was the one who really helped me change my thinking. If you are ever thinking about seeing someone for what ever reason, I would urge you to make the step.

There was 3 incidents in quick succession that triggered my Post traumatic stress disorder, with a mobilisation to the scene of 2 fatal road traffic collisions and a young lad dying in the river which seemed to have been the straw that broke the camels back. I began to have intrusive memories, nightmares and the recurrence of unwanted distressing memories of the traumatic events. I found\u00a0 myself reliving the traumas as if they were happening again (Flashbacks) Severe emotional distress and physical reactions to something that reminded me of the traumatic event. I experienced negative changes in thinking and mood. I became a totally different person, and was drinking too much and I just didn\u2019t know why. I thought that I was literally going mad. I needed help, and just didn\u2019t know what was happening to me. To be honest, I could say a lot more about my symptoms but I think the important part for me to stress to anyone reading this is to explain the help I received from Vicky. I had a number of home sessions and\u00a0was very anxious at first, but in no time I felt relaxed and was able to open up, which was difficult, but she done it in such a way that I was able to do so, which I wasn\u2019t able to do with anyone before. She spoke to me in a calm relaxed manner and if she noticed things where getting too much, there would be a timely break. She was to give me coping mechanisms to help me through my sessions\u2026. What I did like was she was honest with me and said this may not be easy, but also had that kind reassurance which put me at ease through the difficulties I had.

It is proven to be effective in the treatment of a wide range of mental health difficulties and emotional problems.<\/p>\n Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is commonly known as CBT. It is a focused form of therapy where the therapist and client work together to help the client to become aware of their behaviours and patterns of thinking, and how these may be maintaining their difficulties. It aims to help clients find ways of developing alternative ways of thinking and behaving in order for them to bring about an improvement in their mental wellbeing that is long lasting .

She is an utmost professional and I can put my hand on my heart and say I wouldn\u2019t have fully recovered without her help. I went back to work fully fit and was able to perform full operational duties and was back to the old Harry. What I did find useful was the follow up sessions after my therapy had finished, just making sure everything was going well. Now I am happy enjoying my retirement. Thanks Vicky, I couldn\u2019t have done it without your help and support.\u2019<\/p>\nWHAT IS CBT?<\/h2>\n
