About

Victoria is a Positive Psychology Practitioner, who uses an integrated approach to support individuals, and groups, with thriving. Currently working towards an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology (MAPP CP), Victoria is growing positive psychology in her practice.

Having worked as a children’s nurse in the UK, for over 20 years, throughout her career Victoria has spent time working with families and children to their support emotional well-being in the face of adversity. Her experience, supporting children and young people in CAMHS, developed her interest in emotional wellbeing and mental health promotion. Her clinical experience revealed that there are often missed opportunities, where emotional health could have been supported and poor mental health prevented.

Over the last 2 years Victoria has had many conversations with church leaders, who are thinking “I need help, I don’t know where to go. I don’t know how to find help for the people I am caring for.” Church leaders are beginning to recognise the strain that pastoring people places upon them, especially after the challenges of the last few years. Victoria has a passion to see Church Pastors equipped to thrive in ministry and empowered to serve those in their care.
