About Vikki
Vikki Cunningham offers a calm, warm approach grounded in client-centred work and trauma-aware care. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, grief, trauma and life changes at a pace that feels manageable. Vikki uses straightforward, relational counselling to help people untangle difficult feelings and make small, practical shifts.
Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, guilt and shame.
Background and approach
Vikki highlights experience with survivors of domestic abuse and childhood adversity. Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and paced by what feels most important to the person sitting across from her. Sessions often involve talking things through, reflecting on patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.
She aims to keep the work humane and straightforward rather than clinical and formal. Vikki holds BACP accreditation, which is shown here as BACP. She has three years of professional experience and works from the United Kingdom.
Conversations are offered in English and she is open to working with international clients. Outside of counselling, she enjoys craft projects, keeping active and reading. She emphasises respect for each person’s journey and a belief that people are doing the best they can with what they know.

How Vikki works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels doable, and then shape sessions together. This collaborative process helps pick methods that fit the person rather than forcing a single model.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping contact regular even when routines are busy. Online counselling can make it easier to maintain continuity during relocations or travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt session length and timing to suit quieter days, short check-ins or longer in-depth conversations so therapy fits into everyday commitments.
