Victoria Norton, BACP

Victoria Norton is a BACP-registered psychologist who combines clinical experience in both private practice and the NHS to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges and the aftermath of trauma. She works with individuals and couples to address issues such as complex PTSD, low self-worth, emotional disconnection, grief, anger, addictive patterns and the difficulties that follow relational ruptures, separation and reconnection. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns including career strain, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related difficulties, and life transitions.

Working from an integrative, trauma-informed stance, Victoria draws on several therapeutic models to tailor care to each person’s needs. She places relational connection at the centre of therapy, aiming to create a space where clients can feel seen and supported while they explore difficult material and begin to rewrite unhelpful patterns. Her approach emphasises collaboration and compassion, helping clients reconnect with their strengths and build clarity and confidence as they move forward.

Alongside her private work, Victoria contributes to the NHS Complex Needs Pathway in Adult Mental Health Services and teaches as an associate lecturer in psychology. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - reflects her commitment to professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Integrative therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Client-Centred Therapy places the relationship and the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. By offering empathy, acceptance and nonjudgemental listening, this approach supports self-exploration and rebuilding a stronger sense of self after relational disruption or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques from different models to suit each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family commitments or geographic limitations, helping clients maintain continuity of care and apply therapeutic insights in everyday life.
