About me
Whether you are thinking of having therapy for the first time or coming to therapy after some time away, welcome.
I'm Vicki, a fully qualified and insured psychotherapeutic counsellor providing individual therapy to adults and young people (16+), within a warm, non judgmental and empathic environment.
Specialising in working with people recovering from narcissistic abuse and coercive control, you will be supported in exploring you experiences at a pace that you feel safe and comfortable with.
We will work collaboratively to release the unwanted cycles that no longer serve you, helping you reflect on your journey and explore negative thought patterns. The therapeutic experience will be journey that empowers you to be the best version of you, where you can learn to love, care, nourish and respect yourself, just as you are.
I have gained a lot of my experience working in the mental health field supporting people from all walks of life all with different stories. I currently have a role at a charity offering low cost counselling, where I am the initial point of contact, assessing self-referrals.
In my private practice, I offer clients short term, long term and single session therapy and I work with flexibility as I understand that life can get very busy or maybe there is a particular time of day that suits you better.
I offer an initial consultation (up to 20 minutes) FREE, which gives the client a chance to find out how I can best support them and allows us to have a conversation about what they hoping to gain form counselling.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a degree in Humanistic Counselling which underpins my main counselling approach, Transactional Analysis (TA). This can help people reach their fullest potential in all areas of life. It is an excellent therapy for understanding and helping to develop constructive communication in relationships.
I also draw on other modalities to allow therapy holistic depending on each person.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
