About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor who works in a calm, relational way. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief and the ongoing effects of trauma. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
Vikki commonly supports people who are carrying the impact of domestic abuse or childhood adversity. She also helps those facing major life changes, chronic health challenges, and the daily weight of stress.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around what matters most to the individual in that moment. Her practice draws on client-centred principles, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work. That combination helps people feel heard, clarify what they want to change, and address painful past events in ways that reduce their current impact.
Conversations can be reflective or practical, depending on the person’s needs. Vikki has three years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers online care from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who prefer remote sessions.
People come to Vikki for help with feelings of emptiness, shame, abandonment or codependency, and with relationship or communication problems. She pays attention to how past attachments shape present behaviour and to the everyday challenges of living with chronic pain, illness or disability. Outside work she enjoys simple craft projects, keeping active and reading.
She aims to make therapy a collaborative process, helping each person discover what steps feel possible and meaningful to them.

Approaches Vikki lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to move forward. This approach is practical and goal-focused, useful for changing habits or making big life decisions.
Trauma-focused therapy is part of her work when past events continue to affect day-to-day life. This involves carefully looking at how those experiences show up now and finding ways to reduce their hold over emotions and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Vikki treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods feel most suitable for the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and make adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or steady support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and health demands.
