Dr Vikki Powell

About me

I am a Chartered Psychologist, providing psychological counselling for a range of problems, including specialist experience with PTSD, eating disorders and military veterans’ mental health. I specialise in using therapy approaches that have been proven to help with the following difficulties:

Depression | Anxiety & panic |   Anger |   Stress & burnout |   Bereavement & loss   |   Low self-esteem |
Past or recent trauma |   Eating & body image problems   | Relationship issues |   Sleep disorders   |
Long standing personality issues |

As a psychologist I can draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor the counselling to your needs, these include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and Mindfulness.

I also offer psychological coaching, which can be more active and goal-targetted than counselling, and appeals to individuals wanting to make specific changes or improvement in their work or personal life.

Whilst counselling is focused on helping individuals cope with difficult experiences, coaching can work particularly well with high-performing individuals who are seeking proactive change or development. Coaching builds on 'signature strengths' so people can thrive in their roles - and their lives - in more effective and rewarding ways. Coaching can directly help with:

Confidence-building |   Managing life & career changes   |   Developing skill, competence & talents |   Seeking new interests & relationships   | Increasing success   |   Managing set-backs   |   Understanding own strengths & personality   | Self-awareness |

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.
