About Victoria
Hello, my name is Victoria Greenwood. I understand that reaching out for support takes considerable courage, and I want to acknowledge that this is often the most significant first step towards change. Many individuals seek help when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just generally struggling, and I am here to offer a welcoming and safe space.
My therapeutic approach is primarily rooted in integrative therapy, incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy, allowing us to directly address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Psychodynamic therapy can also help us explore how past experiences, childhood relationships and recurring patterns may influence your thoughts, feelings and behaviours today. We will work collaboratively to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, equipping you with practical, evidence-based strategies for effectively managing your mental wellbeing.
You can expect a confidential, non-judgemental and compassionate environment where we will always work at your own pace. Our sessions are structured to help you develop concrete skills and gain valuable insights, leading to measurable improvements in your mental and emotional health. My core aim is to support you in achieving lasting positive change and a greater sense of fulfilment.
Beyond general CBT, I also hold particular expertise in applying these powerful techniques to neurodiversity and trauma, utilising evidence-based strategies to process difficult experiences. I am a proud accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Background & Experience
I have over 20 years of experience supporting individuals in mental health and social care settings. My professional journey has included working within prisons and the housing and homelessness sectors, which has given me extensive insight into the complexities of addiction and severe mental health challenges. I have also delivered training programmes designed to help individuals break cycles of behaviour, further strengthening my belief in the power of structured support.
In addition to my work in the criminal justice and housing sectors, I have spent significant time in the care sector. This allowed me to experience first-hand the challenges faced by people with disabilities and the resulting impact on their families. This broad background, combined with my personal and professional knowledge of neurodiversity, informs the compassionate and adaptable therapy I offer in private practice today.

Verified reviews from clients who have completed sessions.
“I had a really positive experience with Victoria and found our sessions extremely helpful. She is very knowledgeable, understanding and, most importantly, very easy to talk to. From the beginning, I felt comfortable speaking openly without feeling judged. Victoria really took the time to listen and understand what I was saying, while also giving me useful advice and a different perspective when I needed it and also so tools for situations to help me take time and reflect before acting I came away from the sessions with a much better understanding of things and felt that I had some practical ways to move forward. I genuinely feel that the sessions made a difference, and I’m very grateful for the support Victoria gave me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Victoria to anyone looking for a therapist who is knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely cares about helping people. Thank you”
“Victoria was a very good counsellor who listened and gave good advice. I didn’t really know what to expect and was nervous on my first visit. Victoria made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and I took on board what she said to me with a very positive attitude. Thank you so much for helping me. 😊”
“Victoria is such a lovely, warm caring person. She is non judgemental and so easy to talk to. I loved the fact she gives you homework each week to give you something to focus on.”
