She offers a person-centred approach that focuses on developing trust first. Sessions aim to be compassionate and down-to-earth, with the pace set by each person.
Background and approach
Vicky also brings experience of working with trauma and sexual assault concerns and supports people with intimate and body image issues. Vicky has worked inside the NHS for nearly 20 years, mainly in adult mental health settings. Her background includes roles supporting staff wellbeing alongside client-facing therapy.
This long clinical exposure means she is used to practical problems like sleep, eating and work stress. She uses approaches such as attachment-based and client-centred methods, and techniques from motivational interviewing and narrative work to help people untangle recurring patterns. Sessions often focus on clear goals and small changes that make daily life easier.
Vicky works in English and practises from the United Kingdom. Online sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving options for different schedules and communication preferences.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when fears about closeness, trust or abandonment keep replaying in adult life. Client-centred counselling places the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor offers empathic listening and follows what matters most to the client, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see each other and work more closely on emotional material. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, practical planning or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities and different routines, while allowing the same therapeutic approaches to be used across formats.
