Victoria Milligan:
Trainee Person-Centred Therapist (BACP student member)
Hello, my name is Victoria Milligan and I am a trainee person-centred therapist at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and Dalston, Hackney London E8, offering low-cost therapy and counselling service.
I have Levels 2 and 3 in Counselling Skills and have finished my first year of an MSc in Person-Centred Therapy at Metanoia Institute. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework and professional practice.
I know from personal experience how daunting first coming to therapy can seem, but I also know how transformative it can be in working through a range of issues you may have in your life, past or present.
Many things bring us to therapy, sometimes something specific has happened that we need help to process and understand or it can just be a general feeling of ‘I don’t know what is going on with me’.
Whatever it is I want to work with you to explore areas of your life or yourself that need attention and through this process deepen your understanding of yourself and your experiences, move towards acceptance, feel more content, confident, self-assured and generally lighter in life.
We will do this together, therapy is a mutual process, I am not there to direct you as you are the expert on your life, but I am there to support you in working through often uncomfortable emotions, to bring into awareness feelings that have been previously unaware to you but I will be by your side every step of the way.
We all see the world in our unique way and I will value your individuality and respond to your specific needs. I will offer you an empathetic, non-judgemental and private space for you to work through the content that you bring of your unique experience of the world and understanding the emotions and feelings that has brought.
My aim is to harness your natural tendency towards growth and change and enable you to reach the fulfilment of your potential in all aspects of your life.
I have experience working with stress, anxiety and depression, bereavement and different areas of loss, trauma, challenging family dynamics, life transitions, loneliness, motivation, lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, unhelpful patterns of behaviour, disability, body image issues and ADHD.
