I'm Victoria

I am a compassionate and dedicated clinical psychologist, university lecturer, supervisor, and mother.

I began my career in London, in Advertising and Marketing. Whilst exciting, and creative, I soon realised that working in this industry often conflicted with my desire to help those in need.

In 2003 I moved to Australia and began my (re) education in psychology. I have not looked back.

Having lived and travelled abroad, I possess a profound appreciation for cultural diversity and have a genuine desire to make meaningful connections with others. Helping, teaching, and supporting clients in overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals, is my passion.

More recently, I have found fulfilment in supporting early career psychologists to achieve their potential.

With care, experience, kindness, and compassion, I will empower you to lead a fulfilling life and instil you with the skills to face the challenges that may come your way.

Travel and parenthood have had the biggest influence on my life, career, interests, and values. Realising the power of perspective, compassion, kindness, and community to overcome the challenges associated with both living abroad and being a new parent, I chose to complete further education to explore the therapeutic benefits for children and their families.

In 2019 I completed my PhD on the topic of self-compassion, mindfulness, resilience, and wellbeing for children and parents. Encouraging findings have boosted my desire to teach others about these transformative concepts, both within therapy and professional development settings.

The desire to foster greater self-understanding, knowledge, and skills within my clients, to enable them to navigate the challenges they face with resilience and empowerment, is at the heart of what I do. Providing education to my peers, and particularly early-career psychologists, is another way in which I aim to increase awareness and access to high-quality psychological services to the greater community.

Drawing from my love of travel and further education, I am constantly seeking out new and innovative ways to assist my clients on their transformative journeys. My love for exploration and learning fuels my passion for finding the most effective therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual's unique needs.

Most recently, this has led me to become accredited in EFT (“tapping”), a technique with rapidly emerging evidence as a clinical tool to facilitate emotional freedom. I am excited to be involved in upcoming clinical research trials to facilitate a greater understanding of how this technique assists clients to release negative emotions, reframe their beliefs, and restore a sense of emotional wellbeing.

Another area of expertise that has captured my attention is psychological assessment, which allows valuable insights to be gleaned into my clients' personalities, strengths, and challenges, as well as enabling access to required services.
