Margaret Vickers

I currently have new client appointment availability, and  availability for counselling supervisees, on Tuesday to Thursday, between 5.30pm -7.30pm, and daytime appointments on Friday between 9am - 2pm and Saturday morning between 9am - 2pm.

The common element in all of my work is creating a safe environment, with total confidentiality that can help you navigate challenging times in life.

I work in an integrative way, bringing knowledge and methods from different counselling approaches, to help you discover the core issues underlying current life challenges and to help you to find ways to manage those challenges. I offer a safe environment for you to share your experience and find your own route forward.

In addition, I offer warmth, non-judgement, kindness and compassion in all of our sessions, while working to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical standards.

In addition to traditional talking therapies, outdoor walk and talk therapy is an easily accessible option for local clients who want to explore ways of working therapuetically using the natural environment as the therapy room.

I have specialist training and experience of supporting clients through bereavement and grief and loss, and counselling military veterans and blue light service personnel.

I hold an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision for face-to-face, online and telephone working.

The first 30-minute online introductory session is free. This gives you a chance to see if counselling feels right for you and, most importantly, that you feel that I am the right counsellor for you.

Thereafter, each 1-hour in person session is £50.

Online therapy (via Zoom or telephone) is £45 for each 1-hour session.

I am an Integrative Counselling with experience of working with adults, with a specialism in Outdoor Walk and Talk Therapy. In addition, my practice includes online and telephone counselling and supervision, as well as face-to-face in the counselling room.

My areas of expertise working with bereavment, military veterans and emergency service personnel, domestic abuse, NHS settings and Employee Assistance Providers and private practice. 

Supervision can be tailored to meet your needs and to match your practice. For example, if you use Outdoor Walk and Talk Therapy then supervision can also be planned to mirror your practice, wherever possible.

I use Hawkins and Shohet's 7 Eyed Model of Supervison and Stoltenberg and McNeill's Intergrative Developmental Model.

I offer a free 30 minute supervision consultation to ensure that our modalities match and that I can offer the right supervision support for you.

Introductory offer: the first 3 x 1.5 supervision for £50. This gives you opportunity to see if I am the right supervisor for you.
