About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham works from a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of each session. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, grief, trauma and life changes. Vikki is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide ethical practice and professional standards.
Her sessions often feel gentle and relational. Vikki listens for patterns that link past experiences to present struggles, then helps people notice small steps they can take.
Background and approach
Conversations may include deep reflection, practical coping ideas, and moments of lightness when they arise. Vikki has three years' experience working with people affected by trauma and abuse, as well as those living with depression, stress and persistent worry. She also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication difficulties, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Her background includes supporting people through grief, chronic illness and blended family tensions. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the therapeutic relationship collaborative and respectful. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to make change but feels unsure where to start.
Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to work with distressing memories and responses when they feel ready. Outside of counselling, Vikki enjoys craft projects, staying active and reading. She approaches each person with the view that everyone is doing their best with what they know, and she works alongside people to find clearer footing and practical ways forward.

Approaches Vikki lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the ongoing effects of distressing events. That work can involve gently making sense of difficult memories and learning ways to reduce their impact on daily life, suited to people who want to work on past experiences.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Vikki will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit those aims. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as things change so the work stays relevant and helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and read non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and simpler to join. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, shorter reflections or a way to start if being on camera feels difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs, and to keep continuity when life is busy.
