Viki Margerum

I am working both in person and online at the moment.

Fees are £60 in person and £55 online

My approach as a counsellor:

I provide a safe and compassionate space where it is possible to develop deeper awareness of the circumstances that have given rise to uncomfortable and difficult emotions and thoughts. Contemplating the whole picture of your life enables us to make sense of how your unique belief systems have been created and how they sit within the family, cultural and global systems you are part of. Our work together is aimed at bringing you back to greater peace and balance, with an emphasis on supporting you to embrace and integrate all aspects of yourself.

I work with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, loss, and existential crises. I also have experience of – and a particular interest in – working with people who have experienced a ‘spiritual emergency’ (psychospiritual crises) or who would like to make sense of religious or spiritual experiences, including near-death experiences, or psychic emergence (non-ordinary states of consciousness).

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Regression Therapist. My primary therapeutic approaches are transpersonal and relational although I also draw upon a wider range of therapeutic theories and practices when appropriate. My style of working may particularly appeal to clients who seek to find meaning in their lives (why am I here? Who am I?) and who value exploring their inner worlds through dream analysis or guided journeying, if appropriate.

I trained at the University of the West of England and hold a Diploma in Professional Studies Counselling (2006).

I also hold Certificates in Hypnosis and Diplomas in Regression Therapy and Between Lives Therapy.

I am a fully qualified and insured Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling. I am also a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register.

Prior to becoming a Counsellor in 2006 I worked in the Arts and Media industries.
