My name is Victoria Karp and I work as an independent psychologist, counsellor and child and adolescent psychotherapist. I have over 20 years experience working with children and young people.

I created New Thoughts Hampshire as a way of bringing together experts in child mental health, psychotherapy, child and adolescent psychiatry, coaching and nutrition, and specialist tutors (including SEN). All my affiliates are passionate about making a difference. We have no waiting times and our fees are always fair, meaning everyone has a chance to get support.

I was a CAMHS primary mental health therapist, child and adolescent mental health specialist and clinical supervisor for Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Trust as well as former NHS trusts across Hampshire and London.

I offer a private and confidential space to come and explore any child/ family /developmental issue.

When parents call me and tell me their experience, they are always so relieved to meet a practitioner who genuinely understands and believes them.

Being a CAMHS worker opened my eyes to the scale of challenges facing our health and education systems. But, as a parent of a child who is also on the spectrum, the lived experience gave me a deeper level of understanding and knowledge of neurodiversity. Of course, no two people are the same! As they say, we are all on the spectrum...it's how we cope and thrive that matters.

Sadly, schools are struggling to provide the scale of staff and resources to support the many pupils who are still undiagnosed, unsupported and sometimes even, unseen.  

We all know that the NHS is struggling with high waiting times. Many families and children are not getting the support or therapeutic interventions needed so I offer treatment options for families, children and teenagers.

You can also meet and explore my fellow affiliates with whom I work with and refer onto if you are looking for adult counselling, grief counselling, coaching and nutrition, child psychiatry, specialist tutoring. All the affiliates are specilists in their areas. You can explore them individually by clicking the top right corner of this page and scroll down to the professional you are looking for.
