About Vikki

Counsellor (BACP), 3 years' experience. Vikki Cunningham works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She uses client-centred therapy, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work to help people make sense of what they are feeling.

Vikki writes plainly about how past events can continue to affect daily life. She invites clients to talk through the patterns that cause pain. Sessions move at a manageable pace and focus on what matters to the individual in the room.

Her practice includes support for people who have experienced domestic abuse and childhood adversity. She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control issues, codependency, and the impact of chronic illness or pain. Practical topics such as fatherhood issues, blended family dynamics, grief, guilt and shame are part of the work she offers.

In sessions she blends person-centred listening with motivational interviewing techniques to clarify goals and build motivation. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are central to current distress, always guided by the client’s readiness.

Outside of clinical work Vikki enjoys craft projects, keeping active and reading. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs time and space to describe feelings, relationships and life events without pressure. Motivational Interviewing is a pragmatic, goal-focused method for people who want to make changes; it helps clarify reasons for change and build small, achievable steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past events affect current patterns and distress, and it is used when trauma memories or responses are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vikki aims to agree the methods together, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts pace and techniques according to what the person can manage.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Some formats are better for quieter conversations, and others suit people who prefer not to be on camera; check which formats Vikki offers to choose what fits everyday life.
