About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Vikki also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and helps people who are carrying those feelings.
Vikki writes that past experiences can keep shaping how someone sees themselves and their relationships. She supports people noticing how old patterns continue to show up. Her work often suits those dealing with the effects of domestic abuse and childhood adversity, as well as people recovering from traumatic events.
Her approach is relational and trauma-informed. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Vikki says the work may include deep reflection, gentle exploration and occasional lighter moments.
In practice she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental environment where people can talk through what matters most right now. She listens for how attachment, abandonment or family issues may be affecting current stress or mood. She also helps with concerns such as codependency, communication and control issues.
Outside of counselling she enjoys simple craft projects, keeping active and reading. She describes a basic belief that people do the best they can with what they know. That perspective shapes how she approaches sessions and the questions she asks as she and the client work together.
How Vikki’s approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting professional who reflects back what they say and helps them find their own answers.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people explore their reasons for change. It suits matters where someone feels stuck or conflicted about next steps, such as coping with lifestyle shifts or breaking unhelpful patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past harm still affects feelings and behaviour now. This approach can help when anxiety, grief or shame link back to earlier events and need careful, paced attention.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and agree how to proceed, adjusting methods as needed. That decision is made together based on needs, goals and preferences rather than assumed in advance.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life - for example shorter check-ins between commitments, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is low. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue steady therapeutic work while adapting to everyday schedules.
