Victoria Kenrick
PERSON-CENTRED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Approach and background
Often in life we can feel overwhelmed, stuck or going through a particularly difficult and painful time and it can be helpful having a space to understand your experience better.
My therapeutic approach is person-centred which puts you and your subjective experience of the world at the centre of our work together. I believe that meaningful change emerges through genuine connection. I trust in people’s capacity to make sense of their experiences when met with empathy and acceptance.
We all see the world in our own unique way, and I will value and respect your individuality and respond to your unique needs. I see myself as a partner, working with you, as you discover your own inner resources, not as an ‘expert’ who imposes solutions or strategies. I offer a space which is safe, non-judgemental, empathetic and transparent.
Many things bring us to therapy, and it can seem a daunting prospect, but I believe it is a gift to yourself, to allow you to have a deeper self-awareness, understand your defences and become more open to living a fuller and more content life with a feeling of greater self-confidence and autonomy.
Training, qualifications, and experience
I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, neurodiversity, disability and body image issues, sudden change in life and life's transitions.
I am signed off for private practice by my training institute Metanoia and am working towards full accreditation with the UKCP. I have over 300 client hours. I am a trainee member with the UKCP and adhere to their ethical framework and professional practice.
I am a student member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) whose code of ethics I abide by.
Primary Qualifications

Availability, fees, and contact details
I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays anytime, and offer both in-person and online sessions.
My current hours at The Brixton Practice are Tuesday mornings 9am, 10am and 11am.
I charge £55 per 50 minutes, for weekly sessions.
I offer a free 20 minute phone call; this allows me to understand what brings you to therapy and what your aim for the sessions are, it also gives you a chance to hear a little about how I work, and how you feel talking to me. From there, we can find a mutually suitable time to meet and sessions will be charged at £55 going forward. We can then review after 6 weeks. I offer open ended counselling.
