About Vikki

Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor registered with the BACP with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Vikki’s approach is described in her own words as people-focused and relational.

Vikki often meets people who feel shaped by earlier experiences. She explains how past events can continue to affect how someone feels about themselves and their relationships. She talks through what is happening now and what patterns might be repeating, using plain language and a steady pace.

Her work includes supporting people who have survived domestic abuse and childhood adversity. Vikki describes using trauma-informed ways of working and aims to make sessions manageable for each person. She also helps with loss, major life transitions and persistent anxiety.

Sessions combine thoughtful reflection and practical conversation. Vikki uses a relational style and includes methods drawn from Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy when appropriate. She says the work can include deeper reflection alongside lighter moments to help balance difficult topics.

Away from counselling, Vikki enjoys simple craft projects, keeping active and reading. Her manner described in the biography is down-to-earth and non-judgemental. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Vikki uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus conversations on what matters to the person. This approach involves listening closely and following the client's concerns, which can help when anxiety or grief make talking feel difficult.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm. This approach looks at how earlier experiences continue to shape feelings and responses, and it can be useful for people affected by abuse or childhood adversity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vikki will help identify which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adapts the pace and focus as themes emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, caregiving or health constraints, and it can make follow-up conversations and shorter check-ins simpler to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
