About me

VICKY MONK MBACP (Accredited) UKRCP Registered Ind. Counsellor

Counselling for adults and children - I am an experienced Accredited Counsellor with a great deal of experience working in Skegness and surrounding areas. I work with anger, bereavement, depression, anxiety, abuse (of all kinds), low self-esteem, panic attacks, child related issues and so on - please refer to the list below for more areas.

When working with children and young people I use artwork and 'play' materials helping the client to feel relaxed, therefore enabling thoughts and feelings to surface. Counselling is a creative opportunity for personal growth yet it often takes a lot of courage to reveal thoughts and feelings.

I have a calm approach - person-centred being the 'core' of my counselling - also working with other theoretical approaches, dependent on what the client presents with. By using the necessary approach for each individual client - each client being unique - hopefully, during the counselling process the client is able to work through their issues, enabling them to move forward with their lives.

Wheelchair user access Wheelchair user access Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best. You can contact the counsellor to discuss the options available. Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
