About me
Hi, my name’s Vicky, I am here to support you in working through your challenges so you are able to better understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences, at your own pace, with empathy and without judgement. I specialise in anxiety and OCD.
How Counselling can help
The Counselling Relationship is like no other. It provides you with the opportunity to embrace all the parts of you no matter where you are in your life, how confused, challenged or unsure you may be feeling, in an environment that is completely free of judgement. The counselling relationship accepts you unconditionally which enables you to connect more deeply with yourself and feel safe to explore the things that are bothering you.
How can I help
I offer a confidential, safe and supportive space for you to explore anything you wish to. My aim is to understand you and how your world looks for you. Beginning therapy takes a huge amount of courage and I consider it a privilege to work with my clients, sharing their journey to support them in finding their own inner peace.
I am a Psychotherapeutic Integrative Counsellor. Working in an integrative way means I am trained in a number of theories and therapeutic approaches that enables me to tailor the therapeutic approach to meet your unique needs. Working in this way honours individuality and difference ensuring our sessions work in a way that brings about positive change for you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

You can contact me here via the Counselling Directory by using any of the details above. Upon you making contact with me, we will initially arrange a free 15 minute phone call for you to ask any questions you may have, to discuss any goals you have and to see if I am the right counsellor for you. If you are happy to work together at the end of this call we will arrange your first counselling session.
If you call and I am unable to answer, please leave a message and I will call you back as soon as possible. If it is unsafe for me to return your call please leave a voicemail stating so and I will hope I can answer when you are next safe to make contact.
