Victoria De-Petro
Cognitive behaviour psychotherapistAbout Me
Offering 1:1 or group Psychotherapy and clinical supervision (remote and or face to face).
As a senior Psychotherapist and supervisor I have worked in NHS psychology services for over 15 years, specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). I have worked within specialist eating disorder services and physical health settings, alongside my long established private practice working with a wide range of problems including Anxiety, Depression, phobia's, OCD, PTSD, relationship difficulties and Eating Disorders.
In my clinical work I aim to cultivate skills in compassion to promote feelings of safety, self acceptance and warmth, with a particular interest in treating self criticism, shame and trauma. I have contributed to the development and facilitation of CFT groups and have experience in utilising mindfulness and guided practice, which forms the basis for much of the work I do. I am committed to reinforcing positive feelings and behaviours and developing mental, emotional, and behavioural goals in collaboration with the client.
I have full BABCP accreditation.
