From the moment I spoke with Vicki I knew she was the therapist I needed. Having done CBT several times before through my GP and always ending back at square one, then stopping night shifts hoping that would help, then starting medication, my last resort was paying for private therapy. I have never found a better use of my money than my sessions with Vicki. Having worked with her for almost 2 years I genuinely believe I never needed medication in the first place and actually just needed an amazing therapist - who works! Therapy is challenging and scary, opening up parts of yourself to a stranger is a worry. However, Vicki has never felt like a stranger. Where she does her sessions is so homely and calming, be it online or face/to/face. Vicki has a way about her which allows you to easily open up without being scared, she knows how to get you to dig down to your roots and really work on yourself. She is so kind, welcoming, and really goes above and beyond in her sessions with my mental health being her main focus. She supported me through coming off my medication, which is strongly believed I’d need for the rest of my life. She has a way of getting you to open up without realising and really gets to the “nitty gritty” to support you through your journey. She has let me know and given me some nudges when she feels I am ready to spread my sessions out more and really fully supports you throughout the journey you take with her. After each session I always feel much calmer and more centred. She’s kept me on the straight and narrow and supported me whenever there’s been a slight bend in the road or a complete veering off piste. So happy to have found Vicki, genuinely couldn’t recommend her enough and don’t think I’d be where I am today (or maybe even here today) if it wasn’t for all her support.
