About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor who uses a warm, relational approach to help people manage anxiety and stress. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about difficult experiences and everyday struggles. Her BACP credential is shown as BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She focuses on helping people who feel stuck after traumatic events, grief, or major life transitions. Sessions often start with simple practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Over time she helps people notice patterns, understand triggers, and practise ways of responding differently. Vikki works in a trauma-informed way and has experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse and childhood adversity. That experience informs how she keeps sessions gentle and paced to the person’s needs.
She also helps people with issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, codependency, and struggles with guilt or shame. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Conversations may include reflection, gentle exploration, and setting small goals that fit into everyday life.
Motivational interviewing techniques can be used to help people find their own reasons for change. Outside of counselling she likes simple craft projects, staying active, and reading. She believes most people are doing their best with what they know, and prefers to meet people without judgement as they work through change.
How Vikki’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and agenda. It helps with anxiety, grief and feeling stuck by letting people explore issues in their own words.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for moving through obstacles like avoidance, low motivation or uncertainty about next steps.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of traumatic experiences and helps people reduce their symptoms and regain control over daily life. Vikki uses trauma-informed principles to keep sessions gentle and paced for the individual.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the approach as progress is made. This means the first sessions often focus on building trust and deciding what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing between calls and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to use therapeutic approaches consistently without travelling.
