Background

Prior to moving to the north coast Victoria worked in both the public and private sectors in Melbourne. In her private practice Victoria treated adults struggling with long-standing relationship difficulties, depressed mood, anxiety, and unresolved suffering from painful childhood experiences, including abuse.

 

In Melbourne Victoria also worked at ORYGEN Youth Health where she gained specialist training and experience in adolescent mental health. Here she worked with young people in their recovery from psychosis, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, and a range of other difficulties.

Mindfulness Practice

 

Victoria has engaged in mindfulness training including a period of practice at Plum Village in the south of France, where zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh lived and taught. The incorporation of mindfulness-based approaches in her treatment assists individuals in increasing self-awareness and cultivating emotion regulation skills.
