About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I'm Vicki. I offer a warm and confidential environment for you to talk through any difficulties you are experiencing at the moment. Perhaps you feel you have lost your way or can't see a way forward and need some support or guidance and would like someone to do this with. Together we can reframe your thoughts, understand your emotions and help you to gain a different perspective. I aim to provide you with a safe and open space so that you are given the freedom to explore anything which is troubling you.
I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have 20 years of experience of working with both adults and young people. I am currently working for a company offering EAP services. I am also training to become a counselling supervisor.
I offer both brief and long term therapy and provide a non-judgemental, relaxing and confidential space for you to explore any issues which are causing concern or distress.
Practice description
Although I have trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor, I have further training in CBT and Short-Term Solution Focused Therapy. Therefore I can cater to individual needs.
I currently offer telephone and online counselling sessions. I also offer walk and talk.
My first session
I offer a brief, free of charge telephone consultation to see if we are suitable to work together. Within this, we will establish an agreed time for an initial consultation where our working contract will be agreed upon and signed (I will email a copy). Initial consultations are chargeable at my regular fee. In the initial consultation, we will explore what has brought you to counselling. I am also required to gather some personal and medical information.
