About Vicky
A warm, experienced counsellor in Plymouth
I believe that every person deserves a safe, confidential space to be truly heard — without judgement, without pressure, and at their own pace.
My journey into counselling
I came to counselling because I've always been drawn to listening — really listening. Over the years I've worked with people navigating some of life's most difficult moments, and I've seen first-hand how transformative it can be to have a space that's entirely your own.
My practice is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to give advice or tell you what to do — it's to walk alongside you, help you make sense of your experiences, and support you in finding your own way forward.
I work with adults across Plymouth, online, phone or walk and talk. I welcome people from all walks of life. Whatever has brought you here, you don't need to have the right words — just the willingness to begin.

My approach
I work using a Connections Model combining Person Centred, Gestalt, Trans-personal and CBT theories and techniques. I use this model because I like the way mix use of theories and techniques. I also feel that while Person Centred counselling should be at the heart of the working relationship, I like the way that Gestalt, CBT and Trans-personal techniques work well together in enhancing the Person-Centred work in a more holistic way connecting the mind, soul, emotion and body.
Person-centred
I offer unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuine warmth. You set the pace; I follow your lead.
Non-judgemental
Whatever you bring to the room — thoughts, feelings, experiences — will be met with openness and respect.
Collaborative
We work together. I won't tell you what to do or how to feel, but I will help you explore what matters most to you.
