Hi!
My name is Vic, and my preferred pronouns are they/them. I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist/counsellor (MBACP) and coach (TA/ILM) working in-person in Stafford and Cannock as well as online.
Counselling / Psychotherapy is a space to work through issues such as anxiety, stress, trauma and relationship struggles. I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I trained at Staffordshire University, where I am currently continuing my studies to complete an MSC in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
Coaching is a space where we explore struggles relating to executive functioning skills and challenges such as time management and organisation. I am a certified coach via Transformation Academy and I have an ILM certificate in Enhanced Performance Strategies for Neuro-Differences in the Workplace.
I am a trauma-informed practitioner and believe in the importance of learning self-regulation and feeling safe for people to be at their best; this means there is an overlap between how I practice counselling and coaching. However, I tend to offer them as separate services so that the intent of the sessions is clear. I will integrate both if this is something you are interested in and this is something will we can discuss and agree on together.
You will be treated with patience and respect when you contact me, and I aim to act with transparency and honesty in all of our interactions. I have and follow a client confidentiality policy.
I offer a free initial 30-minute video or telephone call for you to ask any questions and get a sense of how I work and whether we are a good fit.
I am an integrative practitioner with experience working with young people and adults.
I work from a client-led perspective, putting you at the centre of our sessions together. I tend to use acceptance-based ideas and I love developmental neuroscience and how it often makes sense of the responses and reactions we have.
Executive Skills Coaching/ Life Coaching sessions can be 1-2 hours long depending on your preference. In this, we look at aspects of life, work and education that you find challenging and find ideas and strategies that work for you.
I work with individuals or freelance contract for organisations.
I offer bespoke training for education and business on understanding and supporting neurodivergence.
Please contact me directly for details.
