Victoria Snow

I offer face to face sessions on a Wednesday between 2pm-8pm at the White Hart Clinic in Barnes, SW13.

I am also offering therapy sessions via Zoom video link or telephone with various appointments available during the week. 

I am a fully qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and EMDR therapist offering help with a wide range of issues that may be impacting your life. 

Anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelm, negative thoughts and relationship problems can be deeply challenging to cope with alone. By talking about feelings that can be hard to face or understand, you can begin to gain more self-awareness and a deeper understanding about yourself. Together we can look at your experiences and relationships to identify any thoughts and behaviours that are holding you back, exploring where and how you might make changes and live a happier life.

Research indicates that it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist that is the key to positive change. I aim to encourage a respectful and supportive relationship to develop between us, through which we can explore any difficulties whether they be recent or historical. 

​My integrative training covers theories from a range of different psychotherapeutic models which help me decide on the best way of supporting you. I am also trained in EMDR therapy which stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. This type of therapy works by replicating the eye movement we naturally experience when we process events during sleep through REM (rapid eye movement). 

When we suffer a traumatic event, reminders of it can become activated in the present along with the original heightened emotions and negative thoughts we felt at the time. EMDR works on reactivating the brain’s natural capacity to process such distressing memories and ‘file them away’ as an unpleasant experience that no longer feels unduly disturbing. It can help you make sense of what has happened and alleviate the impact of symptoms such as panic, anxiety, depression and negative thoughts about yourself and the world.

I am bound by the rules and ethical codes of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). 

Each session lasts 50 minutes. During our first meeting, you will have the chance to talk about your difficulties in a quiet and confidential space and decide whether you feel comfortable with me. If you would like to go ahead, we can discuss whether to proceed on a short-term or long-term basis and arrange a suitable time to meet each week.
