About Kay
Kay Vickers is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression and feeling stuck in life, among other concerns.
Her sessions are straightforward and down-to-earth. She listens and helps people talk through what’s happening. She pays attention to practical causes and how day-to-day life gets in the way of change.
Kay draws on several widely used approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and commit to small steps. Client-Centred Therapy informs how she holds conversations, keeping the person’s experience central.
Many people come for help with relationship difficulties, intimacy and communication problems, attachment or abandonment worries, addiction-related issues, grief, sleep or eating concerns, and workplace stress. Kay also supports people dealing with trauma, anger and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. The focus is on clear goals and manageable actions rather than long explanations. Kay will work with each person to identify helpful strategies and build skills they can use between appointments.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and feelings of being stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.
Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s experience central, with conversations shaped around what the client brings to each session and their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new issues emerge.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid long journeys and keep work or family commitments intact while seeing a therapist.
