MBACP (Accred), BA (Hons) Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Vicki is an accredited Psychotherapist offering a non-judgemental and confidential space in which to share difficult issues and feelings that may be impacting you. She has experience working with young people in a university environment as well as adults in a private counselling service and has worked with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship difficulties, bereavement and low self-esteem.

Vicki works with a relational approach, informed by the belief that as humans, we are naturally drawn to being in relationship with one another. It is through our childhood experiences that we learn to relate to ourselves and others. She is trained in EMDR therapy which stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. This type of therapy works by replicating the eye movement we naturally experience when we process events during sleep through REM (rapid eye movement). When we suffer a traumatic event, reminders of it can become activated in the present along with the original heightened emotions and negative thoughts we felt at the time. EMDR works on reactivating the brain’s natural capacity to process such distressing memories and ‘file them away’ as an unpleasant experience that no longer feels unduly disturbing. It can help you make sense of what has happened and alleviate the impact of symptoms such as panic, anxiety, depression and negative thoughts about yourself and the world.

Vicki’s style is warm, respectful and supportive, with an emphasis on working collaboratively to create achievable goals. By talking about feelings that can be hard to face or understand, you can begin to gain more self-awareness and a deeper understanding about yourself and your relationships. Vicki is an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is bound by their rules and ethical codes.
