About Virginia
Virginia Fick is a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC who helps people with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and low self-esteem. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard and begin to find clearer ways forward. She speaks English and practices from the United Kingdom.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions begin by listening to a person’s story and goals.
Background and approach
From there she works collaboratively to try different ways of managing painful memories, difficult feelings and communication problems. Practical steps and small skills are offered alongside talking, so people can practise outside sessions.
Virginia trained originally in the United States, completing a Master of Arts in Counselling - Clinical Mental Health and a Master of Science in Psychology before moving to the UK in 2022. She has three years of professional therapeutic experience across non-profit, independent practice and community mental health settings, including work in the NHS.
Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and trauma-focused work. These approaches shape how she helps with attachment struggles, post-traumatic stress and sexuality-related concerns. Sessions are aimed at helping people build confidence, improve communication and repair relationships where possible.
Starting therapy is treated as a team effort. Virginia offers a warm, practical style that focuses on what people want to change and on simple, doable steps. She encourages people to take their time and to try approaches that suit their needs.

Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the impact of traumatic experiences with careful, structured work. It aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and to teach ways of coping with post-traumatic stress symptoms and the emotional fallout of abuse.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, experiment with approaches and agree what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to take part. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and work well for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it possible to arrange therapy around work, family and travel, so sessions can fit into real life rather than the other way around.
