About Vikki

Vikki Cunningham is a BACP-registered counsellor who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people carrying the weight of past experiences. She meets clients where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable. Vikki aims to help people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by grief or life changes.

Vikki uses a warm, relational and trauma-informed way of working. Sessions often involve gentle reflection and talking through how past events still show up now. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to make changes but feels unsure about how to begin.

Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic abuse and childhood adversity. She also helps people navigating attachment difficulties, abandonment worries, codependency, chronic illness and other long-term stresses. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication tend to be part of the work.

Vikki has three years of professional experience and is based in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Outside of counselling she enjoys craft projects, keeping active and reading good books.

To start, Vikki asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. The aim is steady, collaborative progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. It is about offering empathy and space so people can talk through what matters to them, which suits work on anxiety, grief and feeling stuck.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to change but feels unsure or ambivalent. It uses gentle, practical conversation to clarify goals and build small steps towards them, which can help with habits, codependency patterns and control issues.

The right approach is often discovered together. Vikki treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process. She will check in about a person's needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work as things evolve.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time and making it easier to maintain regular contact. When unsure about which session types are offered, confirm the current options before booking so they fit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to support steady progress without expecting quick fixes.
