About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. Her practice also focuses on trauma and abuse and the ongoing effects these can have on relationships and day-to-day life.
Vikki often sees people who feel stuck or who notice old patterns resurfacing. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and issues that follow chronic illness or pain. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness and complex family dynamics.
Her approach is client-centred and trauma-informed, with elements of motivational interviewing used when people are thinking about change. In sessions she sets a steady pace and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations can include reflection on past experiences and practical ways to manage difficult feelings in the present.
Vikki has particular experience with survivors of domestic abuse and childhood adversity. That experience informs how she works with trauma, grief and life transitions so the focus is often on safety, stability and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.
Outside of counselling she enjoys craft projects, keeping active and reading. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to talk about what they want to focus on.
How her approaches translate to online work
Vikki uses client-centred therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them examine feelings and make sense of current difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to address the impact of past harm, working carefully to reduce how much those experiences control daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She treats the decision as a collaborative process, discussing goals and preferences and adapting methods as the relationship develops. This helps people find what fits their pace and needs rather than imposing a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people a phone call uses less bandwidth, while video can allow more visual connection; these practical differences are worth considering when arranging sessions.
