Vicky Johal, NCPS

Vicky uses evidence-based techniques that are adapted to each person. One common approach looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and helps people develop practical strategies to reduce worry and build confidence. This method helps with anxiety, low motivation and self-esteem by teaching skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Another useful strand focuses on processing loss and change. It involves talking through emotions, making sense of what has happened, and finding ways to manage grief in day-to-day life. This approach supports people facing bereavement and other major life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Vicky will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences and help decide which techniques to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
