Ms Viktoria Loginova

Therapeutic Counselor

“I believe therapy should be more than simply having a space to talk. For me, it is a place to become curious about yourself, to understand why you feel the way you do, recognise the patterns that keep repeating, and discover what may be asking to change. My approach is shaped not only by my professional training, but also by my own life experiences. Having navigated significant changes and challenges myself, I know how powerful it can be to feel genuinely seen and understood. I care deeply about the outcome of our work. I want therapy to bring insight, but also movement, helping you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with what matters to you and create meaningful change in your life.”

About Me

I have been working therapeutically with people for over six years, and one thing this work continues to teach me is that no two people experience life in quite the same way. This is why I take a holistic and integrative approach, looking beyond the immediate difficulty to understand the person as a whole. My experience includes supporting people through anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, major life changes, loss and bereavement. I have also worked with people affected by cancer and supported NHS-referred clients, experiences that have deepened my understanding of vulnerability, resilience and the many different ways we respond to difficult periods in our lives. My own experiences of relocation, adapting to a different culture, learning new languages and motherhood have also shaped the therapist I am today. They have taught me to remain curious rather than assume, and to respect the unique meaning each person gives to their experiences. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding, not only what is happening, but why it matters to you.

Approach

There is no “typical” session with me, because I don’t believe one approach fits everyone. Our work may begin with a conversation, but it does not necessarily end there. I work integratively, drawing primarily on person-centred therapy alongside CBT, solution-focused and experiential approaches. We might explore a recurring pattern, stay with an emotion, become curious about a physical response, or look at the relationship between what you think, feel and experience in your body. I also work extensively with metaphor, imagery and visualisation. Sometimes an image, symbol or metaphor can take us somewhere that analysis alone cannot. My role is not simply to listen, but to explore alongside you, asking questions, noticing connections and helping you discover your own understanding of what is happening and what might need to change.
