About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I'm Vicky.

I imagine that you're here because you're struggling.

Welcome, really welcome.

You're in good company. Struggle, messiness and uncertainty are inherent to being human. Yet often we shame ourselves, believing it’s somehow not okay or acceptable to feel and be the way we are.

I am straightforward and down to Earth and I'm under no illusions about what life and humans are capable of. I am not here to judge or change anything about you or your experience. I am here to explore and experience it along side you, with curiosity, compassion and acceptance. 

If we meet, you don’t need to be a certain way, or get anything ‘right’.

I’d just love to meet you as you are.

That’s what all us humans long for - to be met, accepted and loved just as we are.

Heart to heart, soul to soul.  

It is in relationships like this, that we can fully live through our suffering, and that healing can begin.

Practice description

I can work with you online or in-person. I can also offer a hybrid model incorporating both.

If we work in-person you'll have access to open green space so you can choose to work inside or outdoors.

Officially, I am an integrative transpersonal psychotherapeutic counsellor but I have a twenty year history in physiotherapy, yoga therapy, breathwork and health coaching. This means I take a holistic and integrative approach to counselling.

If you want to sit and talk, we’ll do just that. But if you’d rather, you can walk, move or stretch on a yoga mat. If talking feels difficult, I can support you to use breathwork, art, movement or images to give expression to what can’t be spoken.

We’ll always collaborate; I’ll offer ideas, and you can choose what feels right for you.

My first session

Your initial session will last one hour. You will have the opportunity to share your story and tell me why you have come to counselling and what you hope to get from it. There is however, certain information about yourself and your life that is helpful for me to know before we start work together. This initial session therefore will be more structured and I will ask more questions than in follow up sessions which, will be far more free flowing.

As with all sessions, we will work at your pace; you are always in charge of how much or little information you share with me.
