About Vikki

Vikki Cunningham works using a warm, relational approach that puts the person at the centre. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed by grief or major life changes. Vikki uses an approach informed by trauma and aims to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

She has three years of counselling experience and has spent much of that time supporting people affected by domestic abuse and childhood adversity.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on understanding how past events keep affecting daily life and on building ways to cope that feel realistic and sustainable. Vikki uses client-centred conversations that let people set the agenda. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make changes but feels uncertain or stuck.

Trauma-focused work supports processing painful memories and reducing their hold on everyday feelings and relationships. In sessions she blends reflection with practical steps. People can expect time to talk, moments to try new perspectives, and space to notice small changes.

The tone is compassionate and down-to-earth rather than clinical. Vikki offers therapy in English and works with people from the United Kingdom and beyond. She enjoys simple crafts, keeping active, and reading in her free time, and brings that calm, steady presence into her counselling work.

If someone is ready to begin, she supports them to explore what matters and to find manageable ways forward.

How Vikki's approaches work online

Vikki combines client-centred work, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused techniques to help people move through difficult moments. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding, allowing the person to set the pace and priorities of each session. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings without pressure.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel uncertain or stuck. It uses gentle questions to clarify values and build small, achievable steps toward goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people face and process painful memories in ways that reduce their impact on everyday life and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Vikki treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try options and adjust as things evolve.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow regular, shorter check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These options make counselling more accessible for people with different schedules and practical needs.
