Counseling & Development
English-speaking counseling services for adults and adolescents. Our work together offers a space for genuine connection, self-discovery, and meaningful change.
Hi, my name is VictoriaWinfrey, and I'm a Professional Counselor & Psychologist
I believe that each person has an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding. Counseling provides a safe environment to explore your experiences, emotions, and self.
I see therapy as a collaborative process that utilizes a compassionate space where connection fosters healing. At the heart of my work is a deep respect for your unique experience, and I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, presence, and no judgment.
I specialize in supporting adults and teens through life transitions and personal growth. Now based in central Amsterdam, I offer counseling for the English-speaking expat community.
Having navigated the expat experience myself, I understand the complexities of living between cultures – and how that can impact identity, belonging, and emotional well-being.
Why work with me?

With a Master’s degree in Counseling & Development from Texas Woman’s University, I have experience working with people from all backgrounds.

I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches – including expressive arts therapy – to support each client’s unique process.
