Victoria Oruwari

I am mostly available on Mondays, Tuesday evenings and Wednesdays from 2pm.

Hello, I’m Victoria, and I’m a humanistic psychotherapist.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, alone, anxious, or just feel it is time to talk about that thing that has been bothering you, contact me and we can face the difficulty together.

I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life, helping them navigate life’s challenges and gain the clarity they need to move forward. Through therapy, you’ll discover the tools to make choices that feel right for you.

My own life experiences have taught me how to reframe challenges in a way that leads to personal growth and fulfilment—both as a psychotherapist and as an opera singer. Clients often tell me that working with me feels like looking into a mirror, but with a twist: they see parts of themselves they hadn’t noticed before.

How I work:

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, so I can understand what you want to achieve through therapy. I listen closely to what you share, making sure I truly understand your perspective. This helps you feel seen and heard, which in turn makes it easier to explore your thoughts and emotions more deeply. Through this process, you’ll become more in tune with your own needs and find the strength to speak up when it matters most.

The person-cantered approach I use is built on the core values of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. By offering a non-judgmental space, I help you feel truly heard and understood, allowing you to gain clarity on your challenges and strengths. Gestalt therapy encourages present-moment awareness, fostering personal insight and promoting a deeper connection to yourself. Transactional analysis, meanwhile, helps to uncover patterns in communication and behaviour, empowering you to break free from limiting beliefs and take control of your life choices.

If you're ready to begin your therapeutic journey, I’m here to offer guidance, support, and understanding as you navigate life’s challenges. 

I offer therapy in a flexible and accessible format, working online via FaceTime, Zoom, and over the telephone. Many of my clients find this mode of working particularly beneficial, as it removes the constraints of travel and allows them to engage in therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own space. Whether you're at home or on the go, the convenience of online sessions makes it easier to fit therapy into your busy life.

As a humanistic psychotherapist, I offer a therapeutic approach grounded in person-cantered, Gestalt, and transactional analysis theories. These modalities allow me to work with clients in a way that is holistic, compassionate, and tailored to their individual needs. I believe that each person has the potential for growth and self-actualization, and my aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

After first contact is made, we arrange an initial appointment where I conduct an assessment. This assessment is an informal chat where you have the opportunity to let me know where you're at and what you hope to get from therapy. After this session, if you feel like we're the right fit, we can then arrange further sessions at a time that is convenient for you.
