mE & MY APPROACH

Hi, I’m Victoria Hockaday and I am seasoned with 5 years private practice helping people heal with internal family systems therapy and breathwork.

IFS therapy was the most compassionate form of therapy I had ever experienced. IFS therapy helped me heal tremendously, healing my nervous system and strengthening the relationship with myself. 

I have witnessed the transformative power of IFS, helping people reconnect with a more compassionate, grounded,  sense of self. Healing anxiety, trauma and CPTSD.

My primary method

My primary framework for my therapy is Internal Family Systems Therapy. Internal Family Systems Therapy is based on the idea that we have sub-personalities in response to trauma and that together these parts form a protective system in an attempt to protect us from pain. 

We all have parts. It’s normal to have parts. We all have difficult life experiences that we have to adapt to.

At the core of us, we have Self. Self is our seat of consciousness that cannot be broken. We can heal our wounded parts with our adult self and release trauma from the body. 

IFS therapy resonates with those who have had cognitive insight from therapy but haven’t seen lasting change. IFS therapy helps you to release trauma from the past and build secure internal attachment. This approach helps you to heal depression, anxiety and CPTS

Your name

I was fortunate to walk this path with my therapist, Vicky - a presence so calm, grounded, and steady that she created the safety I needed to grow, untangle, and release.

Over the past year, I committed to one of the most transformative journeys of my life: healing my inner child. I was fortunate to walk this path with my therapist, Vicky -a presence so calm, grounded, and steady that she created the safety I needed to grow, untangle, and release. Through this journey, layers of fear began to dissolve. I confronted limiting beliefs I didn’t even know I carried. I let go of inner blockages that had shaped my reactions, my expectations, and the way I received the world. With each session, something softened… and something strengthened.
This work liberated me. I found myself living, working, and connecting from a clearer, freer place. My meaningful relationships became richer and more authentic. The questions that once weighed heavily on my heart finally had space to breathe – and the clarity that emerged was invaluable. Inner child work is not instant. It peels gently, a layer at a time, and each layer reveals a deeper truth. But the unfolding is worth it. I am deeply grateful for this experience. It was exceptional – a gift I didn’t know I needed and I would recommend it to anyone seeking deeper alignment, peace, and a fuller sense of self.

"I've had years of different therapy and nothing has ever got to the root of my issues like what you've introduced me to"

“I just wanted to thank you firstly, for all the incredible sessions. You’ve made a massive difference to my inner children. I’m understanding myself better and I’m checking in with them and some of them are pretty much healed now. So thank you, thank you. Like I’ve said before, I’ve had years of different therapy and nothing has ever got to the root of my issues like what you’ve introduced me to so thank you. I’m very, very grateful to have found you and for all the incredible help you gave me. And I’ve had almost 40 years of just not feeling good enough and my inner critic ruling and I’ve really learned to love my inner children and understand where they’re coming from and I’ve just got a very different relationship with myself now and I don’t feel petrified of people anymore”.

Working with Victoria was an incredible and eye opening experience, she has a soothing and calming aura which created a safe space and made me feel comfortable to open up and address my worries and stresses. Through working together, I got to uncover parts of myself that I was unaware of and was able to better understand my inner conflict and how to work through them. I highly recommend her.

I worked with Victoria for inner child work. I knew I'd been blocking my emotions around some healing and Victoria really helped me bring it to the surface to resolve it! The sessions were really effective, very deep work and I always felt so calm afterwards! The emotions I was feeling have softened and Victoria has helped me tremendously to be more compassionate with myself. I highly recommend working with Victoria to help heal your inner child and any issues you might be having!

I 100% recommend therapy with Victoria. I had toxic shame and inner loneliness and Victoria was very supportive in helping me heal. She was the first person who really accepted me and listened to me without judgement and I am feeling less isolated and I am experiencing more social connectedness and intimacy in my life.
