Vickie’s approach to therapy:
I am an integrative therapist which means I have been trained in a range of therapies including person centred therapy, psychodynamic approaches and cognitive behavioural approaches. I believe that providing a safe space for individuals to identify their thoughts, feelings and distress and building up a trusting relationship are key aspects of the counselling process.
Primarily I work in a strengths based way which aims to support the individual to recognise their own strengths and resilience. These inherent strenghts we have are often not easily recognised when we are struggling to cope with distressing problems on our own. I have over 14 years experience of working as a registered nurse and therapist in the NHS with a range of inspiring professionals and clients.
I view my work as a vocation in which I have had the privilege of not only supporting people work through their difficulties, but have listened to clients explain about unexpected achievements and personal gains they have experienced through the therapy process. I believe that online counselling offers a flexibility and freedom which can assist people with accessing the support and help they deserve.
