Hello, I'm Viviana, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I understand that life can be overwhelming at times and feel like you’re stuck in a tangle of thoughts and emotions. You may be experiencing a significant change, a loss, or perhaps facing challenges in a relationship, whether with others or with yourself. Considering taking the step to seek support - something that may feel daunting - is a courageous step toward creating the life you want to live.

I understand how challenging it can be to choose the right counsellor. How can you know if it’s a good fit from just a few words on a profile? Above all, what I hope to convey is the warmth and safety I want to offer to you. Alongside my therapeutic approach, which is centred in an integrative, trauma informed practice, the most important thing I work to create with you is a space where you feel truly welcomed and supported. A space just for you, where you feel seen, heard, understood, empowered, and where all parts of yourself—those you cherish and those you may find difficult to share —are embraced.

To help you decide if we’re a good match, I offer an initial 30-minute free telephone consultation. This gives us a chance to discuss what you’re hoping to achieve in therapy and explore how I can best support you. Whether through talking therapy, or clay therapy sessions (which offer a creative approach to emotional healing), we’ll work together with kindness and gentle curiosity to explore and navigate the issues that matter most to you.

Thank you for considering me to support you. If you think that I might be the right fit, please do get in touch - together we’ll find the path forward that feels right for you.

As a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work within the BACP's ethical framework for the counselling professions. 

I offer individual therapy to adults and sessions are held face to face or online.

Our therapeutic work will be grounded within a humanistic, integrative approach. This means that I use a range of techniques from Person Centred Therapy and Gestalt to help you explore issues, and empower you to discover solutions to the challenges that you wish to work through.​

Each session is tailored to your individual needs and guided by what you find most valuable and helpful to explore. At times we may focus on the present moment and delve into your 'here and now' experience; this can provide a deeper understanding, reveal behavioural or relational patterns that may be holding you back, and open up new possibilities and choices.

​I also offer clay therapy sessions which is a creative and expressive therapeutic approach that uses the hands-on process of working with clay to support emotional healing.  It offers an opportunity to deeply connect with your inner-world, promote mindfulness, and process complex emotions in a safe and supportive environment. ​

Clay therapy can benefit clients by providing an alternative way to communicate and process emotions, particularly for those who may find it challenging to express themselves through words alone.  

It's important that you choose the right therapist to work with to ensure you get the most from the process;  I therefore offer an initial telephone assessment that provides you with the opportunity to ask me questions, tell me more about what you hope to get from therapy, and discuss how we can work together to help you achieve this.
