Live The Life
You Have
Always Wanted To

Your Therapist Viktoria

Welcome to Vive Therapy

The name comes from the Latin word Vive for "live." That is the heart of our work: helping you live the fulfilling and meaningful life you’ve always wanted to. Many of us carry things that quietly limit us: old experiences; guilt we can't quite set down; a sense of not measuring up; patterns that repeat no matter how much we want them not to, just to name a few. You may know exactly what is weighing you down, or you might only feel that something is not quite right, but you can't quite put a finger on it.

What Brings People Here

Some people come during a time of crisis: a relationship ending, a bereavement, burnout, a period of anxiety, or a low mood that won't lift. Others come after a welcome change, like becoming a parent, that has unsettled them in ways they didn't expect. Many people enter therapy after an unplanned change, such as change in employment, menopause, empty nest and so on. Yet some arrive with no crisis at all, simply wanting to better understand themselves and their relationships, and grow in self awareness.

Perhaps you recognise some of these:

  • Telling everyone you're fine when in reality you haven’t been fine for a while
  • Anxiety, panic, or depression getting in the way of the life you want to live
  • Feeling you are somehow failing, not matter how much you achieve
  • Repeatedly choosing relationships with people who don't truly value you
  • Feeling isolated, or reluctant to burden anyone with how you really feel
  • Painful memories that surface at night and disrupt your sleep and your life
  • Experiencing parental difficulties and feeling ashamed at the same time
  • Feeling that you can never truly relax and feel safe

Therapy can help. I offer a confidential and welcoming space where nothing you bring will be judged and you will have an opportunity for reflection and growth. As you read this, you have already made the first step towards change.
