Victoria is a registered psychologist with more than a decade of experience in wide range of settings, including working as a psychologist in hospitals, community organisationsand private practices. Victoria has worked with adults, young people, couples and families, assisting with overcoming depression, anxiety, stress and burn out, relationship difficulties, PTSD and trauma. Born in Russia, she understands the challenges of adjusting to a new culture and has solid experience in supporting clients from culturally diverse background, including migrants and refugees. Victoria believes that effective therapy consists of more than just a particular intervention. Whether an intervention is going to be effective depends very much on client factors (life experience, expectations, interests etc); therapists factors (training, experience, personal and professional interests, and so on); and the relationship that develops between the client and therapist. Victoria has a special interest in brain-body connection, mindfulness based approaches, expressive and art therapies, positive psychology and cognitive and narrative approaches.
