About Vikki Cunningham
Vikki Cunningham offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore how past experiences continue to shape their feelings, relationships, and everyday life. She supports individuals living with anxiety, grief, a sense of being stuck, and the ongoing effects of trauma and childhood adversity, meeting each person at a pace that feels manageable.
Vikki has particular experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse as well as those navigating major life changes. Her style is warm, relational, and trauma-informed, and she approaches therapy as a collaborative process guided by what matters most to the client in the moment. Work with Vikki may involve deep reflection, gentle exploration, and moments of lightness along the way.
Outside of counselling, she enjoys slow, easy craft projects, staying active, and losing herself in a good book. At her core, Vikki believes people are doing the best they can with what they know and that no one is more worthy than another. She is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates engagement with professional standards and ongoing development.
If a supportive, trauma-informed approach feels right, Vikki is available to walk alongside clients as they begin their journey and work toward clearer ways of coping and relating.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Vikki uses approaches that centre on the individual's experience and strengths. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, non-directive environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions - this approach helps with building self-understanding, self-worth, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people explore ambivalence and find their own reasons for change - it is useful for enhancing motivation around difficult decisions or behavioural shifts. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the ways traumatic experiences affect emotions, memory, and relationships, offering structured support for people recovering from abuse, childhood adversity, or other traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vikki works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as the work evolves.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to engage from home or while travelling, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to support meaningful progress and consistent care.
