Victoria Kearns

Welcome, I am Victoria Kearns (she/her), a COSRT and MBACP registered integrative psychotherapist with specialist training in working with couples and people with relationship and psychosexual issues. I offer a confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental space in which you can explore and reflect on your relationship or sexual challenges, the way these affect you and your hopes for change. I support you in discovering more about yourself and about how you would like to grow personally and in your relationships – facilitating change towards greater self-love, acceptance and greater satisfaction in your connection with others.

I’m passionate about helping people live life as richly as possible, with a heart, body and mind capable of joy, pleasure, self-expression and love. I believe that we are all born this way but past experiences and relationships, present circumstances and cultural narratives sometimes get in the way causing sadness, shame, fear and confusion. These emotions can disrupt our sense of self and our relationships and lead to behaviours that don’t serve us well.

My approach is to work with you as a fellow traveller, helping you to explore what is happening for you in your relationships, revealing ways of thinking and behaving that don’t serve you well and finding routes to greater satisfaction, joy, dignity and connection with yourself and with those you love. The journey isn’t always easy and sometimes means recognising some uncomfortable truths about yourself or your relationship before moving forwards to greater connection.

I work relationally which means I use my relationship with you as a source of information about how you relate to yourself and to others. I integrate this with psychodynamic, developmental and attachment, existential, Gestalt, mindfulness and emotionally focused therapy approaches.

I work with people of all ages (from 18+) and sexual orientations, from different cultural and heritage backgrounds, and clients with disabilities. I offer my fees on a sliding scale based upon income in order to keep my services as accessible as possible. Please get in touch to see if I can help – therapy@victoriakearns.co.uk – I look forward to hearing from you.
