Vikki Cunningham , BACP

Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people working through anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where individuals can explore how past experiences continue to shape feelings about themselves, their relationships, and the wider world. Vikki has particular experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse and those who have faced childhood adversity, and she often works with people navigating complex reactions to loss, change, and painful memories.

Her style is warm, relational, and trauma-informed, with therapy presented as a collaborative process shaped by what feels most important to each person in the moment. Sessions may involve careful reflection, gentle exploration of difficult material, and moments of lightness to balance challenging work. Vikki holds BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes membership of a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Outside of her practice, Vikki enjoys slow and easy craft projects, staying active, and losing herself in a good book. At heart she believes people do the best they can with what they know, and that everyone deserves the same basic respect and worth. When someone is ready to begin, Vikki offers steady companionship and practical support to help them find a way forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Vikki uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, person-focused environment where the client s experience and goals guide the work. This approach helps people who need a safe space to explore emotions, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions. Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to help clients resolve ambivalence and find motivation for change - it is useful for people facing difficult decisions or wanting to shift unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past traumatic experiences continue to affect daily life; it involves careful, paced work to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and improve coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Vikki works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, adapt techniques, and pace the work so the client feels involved in choosing the path forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This variety makes it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life demands, and it allows licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support in ways that meet each person s practical needs.
