About Victoria

Victoria "Vicky" Leithes is a counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works from a person-centred perspective and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Vicky offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or emotional pain.

She trained as a person-centred counsellor in 2012 and uses Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach. That means she listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than telling them what to do.

Background and approach

She adapts how she works to suit each person's pace and needs. Vicky has experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress.

Her practice includes work on relationships, intimacy issues, grief, eating concerns, anger and career-related stress. Additional areas she focuses on are codependency, commitment struggles, family problems and women's issues. She offers practical, down-to-earth conversations about coping strategies and day-to-day changes that can make life feel more manageable.

Sessions aim to strengthen a person's own resources and resilience. Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. Vicky encourages a collaborative approach to set goals and decide how therapy should proceed.

She emphasises respect for each person's perspective while helping them move toward clearer choices and better coping.

Ways of working Victoria names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and offering acceptance and empathy. In practice this means the counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and helps the person clarify their own goals. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and processing difficult events.

Because Vicky adapts her work to each person, she will talk with clients about what approach feels right. That conversation is collaborative - the client and counsellor decide together on goals, pace and methods. Trying one way does not lock someone in; adjustments are part of the process.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, need brief check-ins during the week, or want more gradual ways to share their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
