Vikki Cunningham, BACP

Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and person-centred ways of working.

About Vikki

Vikki Cunningham is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and person-centred ways of working. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about what has been happening. Vikki writes simply and kindly, and she works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. That includes help with abandonment, attachment issues, feelings of emptiness, and the aftermath of domestic violence.

Background and approach

Vikki also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and those wrestling with guilt, shame or codependency. Her style is warm and relational. Sessions are collaborative - the person directs what matters most and the counsellor follows.

Conversations may include reflecting on past experiences, practical ways to cope day to day, and noticing patterns in relationships and feelings. Vikki uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find what they want to change and to build small steps towards it. Her trauma-focused work aims to reduce the hold of past events on present life.

Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s own goals and values. She has three years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

If someone prefers online contact, Vikki works using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

How trauma-focused and person-centred work translates online

Vikki uses trauma-focused therapy to help people untangle how past events continue to affect daily life. That approach focuses on processing those experiences and learning practical ways to reduce their impact on mood and relationships.

She also works in a Client-Centred way which means the person’s own priorities steer the sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to make a change - it helps identify small, achievable steps and strengthens motivation to act.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vikki treats therapy as a collaborative task and will help figure out which mix of methods fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed together so the work can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, health needs or caring responsibilities while still working through trauma, anxiety, grief or life changes.
