About Victoria
Victoria "Vicki" Readings is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of practice and works with people experiencing stress and anxiety. Vicki draws on a variety of ways to help people feel heard and make small changes that matter.
Her background includes Adlerian ideas which look at family life, childhood memories and how these shape everyday patterns now. She blends talking therapy rooted in a person-centred approach with creative tools such as drawing and phototherapy.
Background and approach
These methods are used to help people notice patterns, put feelings into words and try out new perspectives. Vicki also brings holistic practices into sessions when helpful. She uses elements of yoga, laughter yoga and mindfulness to offer breathing and grounding techniques.
These can be introduced alongside conversation to help manage stress and build simple routines for day-to-day coping. She supports people with family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, communication problems and navigating life changes such as divorce or pregnancy. Vicki helps people who feel isolated or who are searching for greater purpose and self-love.
Her approach is practical and adaptable. Sessions focus on what the person needs now and on small, manageable steps. Vicki aims to help people gain awareness, find clearer ways to cope and move towards the goals that matter to them.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Vicki uses person-centred talking therapy which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety and stress when someone needs space to be heard and to explore what matters most to them.She also uses creative and metaphorical techniques such as drawing and phototherapy to help people express difficult feelings in another way. These activities translate well to video sessions and can be adapted for text or chat for people who prefer not to be on camera.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit your goals and circumstances, and will adjust how sessions run as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between calls or have a shorter, written session when that feels easier. Together these options make it simpler to match therapy to a busy life and different ways of communicating.
