I was referred to Victoria for private counselling through my employee benefit plan. I could not have asked for a better fit. I have seen a few different counselors in the past, and while they were all competent and kind, none matched the level of insight and compassion I have experienced with Victoria. I also had the opportunity to attend one of the self compassion workshops and despite my skepticism I ended up enjoying it so much and gained a few crucial life skills. Learning to care for and love myself is changing my life.

I attended this workshop at my work. It was a great experience with a ton of valuable information as well as much needed teachings. I use the tools daily at work and at home. Self compassion is so important and I’m thankful I am able to practice these lessons as well as teach them, and role model them to my two children. We practice one breath for me, one breath for you. I highly recommend these wonderful ladies! Thank you so much Victoria and Carolena!

Victoria creates a warm safe environment and provides gentle insightful quidance that I have benefitted and grown from over the years. Her passion and devotion to the field of self compassion has been an inspiration and changed my life as I use the tools and cards regularly to practice self care, I can’t remember the last time I was frozen with anxiety! I highly recommend Victoria, she is a wellspring of knowledge and experience who walks the talk and her workshops are wonderful opportunities to grow and connect.

I paid privately for a session to continue to work through trauma related challenges. I have seen other wonderful therapists and do not need a bleeding heart and prefer forthright individuals to have good dialogue with. However, Victoria was exceptionally cold and aloof and it took me by surprise given the “compassion inspired” work she supposedly does. Being vulnerable already, I left feeling feeling overwhelmed, unheard and that she had no compassion for what I shared. She gave me littke feedback and had no warmth to her at all. She did recommend a book that I already had. I would not recommend her to anyone, especially if you are new to counselling. I found a very engaged and capable therapist since thankfully, but felt I needed to write an honest review about this experience.

As a colleague who has known Victoria for over 30 years she is a highly skilled counsellor who exudes kindness and warmth . A caring dedicated professional who practices mindfulness and compassion in her approach to helping people.
