About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor who uses a warm, relational approach to help people untangle difficult feelings. She works in a steady, calm way and aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Vikki holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She focuses on anxiety, stress, grief, depression and the long-term effects of traumatic experiences. Many people come to her feeling stuck, managing panic or living with the fallout of past abuse or childhood adversity. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional impact of chronic illness.
Vikki describes her style as collaborative and trauma-informed. Sessions often centre on listening carefully, reflecting back what is happening, and helping people make small changes that feel doable. She uses client-centred methods alongside motivational interviewing and trauma-focused ideas to support practical shifts in how people cope.
Her work can include gentle exploration of painful memories, looking at patterns in relationships, and building strategies for handling intense emotions. She also supports people through life changes such as bereavement or shifts in family roles.
Outside of counselling she enjoys simple craft projects, keeping active and reading. She aims to meet each person where they are and to help them move at a pace that feels manageable.
How Vikki's approaches translate to online counselling
Vikki uses client-centred work, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused ideas to guide sessions. Client-Centred Therapy is about listening with care and following what the person feels is most important; it helps people regain a sense of being heard and understood. Motivational Interviewing gently supports change by helping someone weigh their own reasons for making shifts in behaviour or coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves careful, paced attention to past distress so it has less impact on day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and what feels doable, then choose methods that suit those goals. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue regular work on anxiety, panic or trauma from wherever they are, while the therapist and client work together to shape practical steps that fit everyday routines.
