About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham, BACP, creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients make sense of how past experiences affect day-to-day life. Vikki frames therapy as a collaborative process and moves at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
She commonly supports people who have survived domestic abuse and childhood adversity, and those who feel stuck by memories or strong emotions. Sessions can involve gentle reflection, talking through patterns in relationships, and practical steps to reduce stress. Vikki aims to balance deeper work with lighter moments where possible.
Vikki draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person’s own goals and choices. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. These approaches guide what happens in sessions rather than following a rigid script.
With three years of experience, Vikki brings steady, down-to-earth support to complex concerns like attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, and chronic illness. She pays attention to how issues such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and communication problems show up in daily life.
Based in the United Kingdom, Vikki works in English and is open to working with international clients. Outside of counselling she spends time on craft projects, keeping active, and reading. If someone chooses to begin, she invites them to take the next step together.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings or clarify what they want to change. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to take steps forward, useful for when motivation feels unclear or conflicted.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Vikki treats this as a team effort and will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasise listening, practical steps, or trauma-focused techniques over time.
The biography does not list which online session formats are provided, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or letting someone join from wherever they are that day. It can also make it simpler to continue continuity of care when people move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt the pacing and tools of these approaches to an online setting, keeping the focus on what the person needs.
