Dr Vikki Powell

About me

I am a Chartered Psychologist, providing psychological therapy for a range of client difficulties, but I specialise in helping individuals manage the impact of stress, anxiety, trauma or major adjustment in their lives. In particular, my approach is to firstly help reduce problematic symptoms and then support you to restore resilience in your life. In this way, my clients feel they have had far more than counselling, and many report significant growth in their lives after therapy.

I draw upon a range of evidence-based therapies to tailor the support to meet your needs - these therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and Mindfulness.

If you know you're past the worst of your symptoms, but don't yet feel confident to cope with further set-backs in life, you could benefit from psychological coaching rather than therapy. Coaching sessions are focused on restoring your strengths and resilience, and can be more active and goal-targetted than therapy. Coaching often appeals to already high-achieving individuals wanting to make specific changes or improvement in their life, or those finding that performance strategies they have used before are no longer effective for them.


I am based at The Therapy Suite, where a small team of psychologists and therapists offer qualified help to clients within a private and tranquil setting, that is also reassuringly professional. Please see the clinic website for more information at www.thetherapysuite.co.uk
