Vikki Cunningham

Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor who uses a warm, relational approach to help people through stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and focuses on what matters most to each person. Vikki holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP, and brings three years of practice to her work.

She offers a space to talk about how past experiences affect day-to-day life. Sessions can cover issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and difficulties with trust. Vikki also supports people coping with chronic illness or pain, feelings of emptiness, and the fallout from domestic violence.

Her style is collaborative and trauma-informed. That means she listens closely, follows what feels safe and useful, and helps people pace their work. Conversations may include careful reflection, practical steps for managing distress, and exploring ways to rebuild routines and relationships.

Vikki uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape the work based on each person’s needs. These approaches guide conversations rather than imposing a set plan. The emphasis is on clear, steady progress and small, achievable changes.

Outside of counselling, Vikki enjoys crafts, keeping active and reading. She believes everyone is doing their best with what they know, and she aims to offer steady support while people find their next steps.

How Vikki’s approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows the client’s lead, which helps with feelings of isolation, low mood and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is about exploring what matters to the person and gently building motivation for change. It can be useful for making choices around big life changes or trying new coping strategies.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of distressing experiences by working carefully with memories, reactions and patterns that still cause difficulty. It aims to reduce the hold those experiences have over daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the relationship develops.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to join from different locations, but the specific formats offered here were not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
