Victoria is a registered counsellor and works adolescents, young people and adults, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds as they reconnect with their strengths, finding ways to move forward with greater confidence and clarity. Her work is grounded, practical and deeply human.


Growing up in both the UK and Hong Kong, Victoria understands how culture, family expectations, identity and environment shape the way we cope.

 
Her knowledge of the intensity of academic and workplace life in Hong Kong helps inform her practice, supporting teens through the stress of study and exams, and professionals with their careers.

 
She is equally comfortable supporting international clients and expats who are adjusting to life in Hong Kong, balancing their independent dreams with family or social expectations, navigating between two different sets of cultural values and norms.

 
Her cross-cultural background helps her listen for what matters most to each person – whether they’re experiencing pressure from external demands, internal standards, or the gap between the life you’re living and the life you want.

 
Victoria takes a holistic approach to counselling, looking beyond symptoms to understand the broad picture: your values, identity, stress load, sleep, self-talk and the patterns that keep someone feeling stuck.

 
Her integrative style draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), positive psychology, narrative therapy, and mindfulness based strategies. She is a CBT practitioner, a certified youth mental health first aid instructor, and a certified psychological wellbeing practitioner. This combination allows her to balance warmth and depth with structured evidence-informed work, while staying sensitive to each client’s culture, pace and goals.

 
Many clients choose to work with Victoria when they are tired of functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. They also go to her when self-criticism is constant, or when pressure and comparison have started to shrink their life. Her aim is to help clients feel more grounded, more flexible in how they respond to stress and more able to live in alignment with what matters to them.

 
Victoria holds a Master of Counselling from Monash University in Australia, a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and Mental Health from the University of Sussex, and a BSc in Psychology from the University of Exeter.
