About me

My name is Victoria Hadaway, but please call me Tori!

​

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge how difficult life can be sometimes, and commend you on taking that first and sometimes very difficult step in seeking support.

​

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Counselling (BACP Accredited Course), and have MBACP status (Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Background

In 2012, I had a life changing accident at work, which left me unable to work or continue my studies for 6 years; however, I was committed and determined to not let a ‘bump in the road’ alter my goal of being able to help others and become a counsellor. 

​

Prior to my accident,  I had 10 years of experience working with children between 3 months-19 years old in various educational settings; which included providing care and support to children with complex needs such as,  Autism/Asperger’s,  ADHD,  and other mental health needs/difficulties. 

​

In 2018, I took the plunge and enrolled on a 3 year Master of Arts degree in Clinical counselling at the University of Chester.

I am now a fully qualified counsellor with experience of counselling university students, with a variety of concerns including: abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self harm/suicidal thoughts, stress and trauma to name a few (see below for a more comprehensive list of concerns).
