About Kay
Kay Vickers brings 12 years of counselling experience and a practical, down-to-earth manner to her work. She offers a friendly space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, or feelings of being stuck. Kay holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are noted here as part of her professional background.
She usually starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to uncover the roots of difficulties while keeping solutions realistic and manageable. Sessions combine compassion with straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people make small changes that add up. Kay works with issues that come from work pressure, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions.
She also supports people facing self-esteem problems, compulsive behaviours, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and career crossroads. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, infidelity, and isolation. Her practice draws on a mix of therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, dialectical skills, client-centred ways of working, and relationship tools influenced by the Gottman Method.
Kay tailors these approaches to each person’s needs in a collaborative way. People choosing therapy with Kay find practical strategies alongside time to reflect. The process is paced to suit the individual and aims to build clearer choices for everyday life.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Kay works online
Figuring out which approach suits a person is part of the work. Kay will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often adapt exercises for online sessions so people can practise skills between meetings and bring progress back into their everyday routines.
