Hi, I'm Vicky. Before I qualified as a counsellor I worked in health and social care as a health care assistant, mainly in dementia care. I worked in this sector for over twenty years and bring my knowledge and experience into the counselling room if required. I have been a volunteer counsellor for CGL Pathways to Recovery in Warrington and Wired Carers Services who are based on the Wirral. My foundations are in person-centred counselling and I use an integrative approach. This means that sessions are always about you and I will tailor them to suit your needs by offering other therapies such as CBT, parts work or mindfulness. I have experience supporting clients with stress, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and addictions. I am passionate about breaking the stigma around mental health and in helping people to understand themselves.
