About Victoria
Victoria "Vicki" Readings is a counselling therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Vicki presents as approachable and practical, helping people talk through stress, anxiety, parenting concerns and changes in life circumstances.
She uses a mix of talking therapy and creative techniques to suit each person. Sessions may include person-centred conversation, drawing and metaphor work, and phototherapy when helpful.
Background and approach
Vicki aims to make sessions feel manageable and grounded so people can build awareness and find practical steps forward. Her background includes work in education and additional holistic practices such as yoga, laughter yoga and mindfulness. These elements are sometimes woven into sessions to support stress management, coping and overall wellbeing.
The goal is to offer tools that people can use outside therapy as well as during sessions. Vicki also notes experience of military life and an understanding of the issues that touch people connected to the armed forces. She draws on that awareness when relevant, while keeping the focus on the individual’s current needs and goals.
People come to her with a wide range of concerns including family and parenting worries, communication problems, divorce and separation, isolation, questions about life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth, women's issues and self-esteem. She encourages small, practical steps and steady progress as clients work towards clearer thinking and greater self-compassion.

Focus areas and approaches
What Victoria works with
Everything Victoria lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try different ways of working so clients can see what feels most helpful. Decisions are made collaboratively, based on your goals, preferences and what feels manageable in sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face from wherever you are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily demands while keeping the focus on steady progress.
