Professional statement
Dr Victor Thompson is a highly qualified psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in helping patients overcome common psychological problems such as anxiety, phobias, depression, stress and coping with trauma. He has worked as a sports psychologist for over 10 years. After 17 years as a clinical psychologist in the NHS, he is now working fully in private practice. He has practices in East Dulwich and offers online video consultations.
In his sports psychology work, he assists athletes by working with them on overcoming performance stress, coping with injuries, and mentally adjusting to planned or unplanned retirement from sports. Dr Thompson doesn't only treat adults in the sporting world, he is also a sports psychologist for children regarding helping children to manage their anxiety and frustration, as well as developing their teamwork skills.
Dr Thompson studied at the University of Sheffield in 1995 where he achieved his psychology bachelor's degree with honours. In 2001, he achieved a doctorate in clinical psychology at the University College London and in 2008 he achieved a post-graduate degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at the University of Oxford.
He has a keen interest in sports, health, and general wellbeing, so much so that he has raced in six triathlon world championships and five European championships. These experiences have given him hands-on knowledge about the psychological stress of training and competing.
He's been a registered practitioner on the HCPC register since 2010 (PYL21378), and an accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist on the BABCP register since 2012 (091122)

He made me feel bad about my problems and belittled them, don’t recommend this doctor, he is not sensitive and had no interesting insights and expensive for no reason
Reply to patient's comment
I am sorry to read that this was your experience of our appointment and wish you success with finding a speedy resolution to your difficulties. When I meet a patient for the first time, my goal is to learn about what is problematic, what has been tried, the goals and what the patient wants from me. I also plan to offer some comments and insights, plus ideas on what might be helpful to do after the appointment. Unfortunately, it is not always possible within this first appointment to give the novel insight or impactful remedy that people hope for. I wish that psychological therapy could be quicker. In relationships, one person will not be a great fit for everyone. This is the same in therapeutic relationships – so I will not be a good fit for everyone. This is why at the outset, I only agree to the initial appointment, where we can see how good a fit I am for a patient’s difficulties. If I am not such a good fit, then it is likely that there are other therapists out there, who have better aligned knowledge, approach, style or personality. It is important that patients to continue their search for right help for them.
