About Victoria Hookway
Victoria Hookway is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with people who have faced deeply challenging and often life-changing circumstances. She understands how personal history and life events shape the way people see themselves and relate to the world, and draws on her own life experience and professional training to support others through those impacts.
Her approach is person-centred, which recognises the client as the expert in their own life and prioritises the client’s pace and priorities. Sessions are guided by the client’s needs, so therapy can focus on building practical strategies and techniques or on creating space to explore and process emotions. Victoria works collaboratively to help people unlock their own solutions and make meaningful changes.
She is grounded and approachable, and is motivated by the commitment clients bring to their work in therapy. In private practice she also volunteers for a local mental health charity and provides therapeutic support within a school setting, assisting children and their families through difficult periods.
Victoria has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD and autism spectrum conditions, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem and bipolar-related challenges, along with coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and family of origin matters.
She aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Victoria is also the author of a guided journal titled "365: A Year of Self-Discovery," published on Amazon to offer tools for reflection and personal growth.
