Although it is difficult to quantify results in traditional measures, I am changed for the better! I realise that just by voicing out loud the often sad and difficult experiences of my life, that I acknowledge myself better and am more aware of how to care for myself.

Vicky helped me to free myself and cope much better with the unexpected twists and turns of life. I am beyond grateful!

Our work together has given me the confidence to challenge my thoughts and has helped me explore new strategies for managing my feelings and navigating difficult periods in my life. 

I have come such a long way on my journey since I first began working with Vicky and I can’t thank her enough for helping me develop a ‘toolkit’ for managing big emotions and worries.  I am so much better equipped now and that has had a huge impact on my daily life, relationships and happiness!

I recently worked with Vicky around ADHD coaching, and I am thrilled with how much I have progressed.  So much so, that the strategies and ideas I took away have helped me to set goals and secure my dream job!

Vicky helped me calm my anxiety and fears and, over a short time, helped me build back my self-confidence and gave me insight into my anxiety and fears that helped me unlock them and be able to deal with them.

She has valuable insight into relationships and how they can best work, and also ideas on how I can better myself and love myself so I can then have better relationships in my personal and working life.

She also helped me see that a number of my fears are due to possible ADHD, which I never even realised, but now knowing that helps me understand myself and why I do things, which helps me manage my life and achieve my goals a whole lot easier and more organised.

Her sessions are attentive and sensitive, and she is very helpful and understanding. I want to thank Vicky for all the help she has given me and continues to do so, and I would 100% recommend her counselling services to anyone.

From the start, we had a safe and non-judgmental environment which meant I could open up and be truly honest in ways I haven’t been with friends and family in the past.

I truly recommend Vicky, as she helped me grow into who I am today. Thank you Vicky.

I enjoy having supervision with Vicky as she creates an informal relaxed atmosphere to explore ideas and reflect on challenges in client work. I also enjoy the emphasis Vicky places on self-care as she takes a holistic approach to supervision. I would highly recommend Vicky as a supervisor.

From our very first session she created a space that felt safe, warm, and completely free of judgment. A space where I could bring my questions, concerns and own vulnerabilities without hesitation.
Her insights are always thoughtful and considered and I’ve grown so much in my confidence because of her guidance, and I’ve learned to trust my own voice more fully as a counsellor.
Thanks to Vicky I feel more competent in navigating a complex case load, managing professional boundaries, and staying connected to my core values as a counsellor.

She’s helped me unpack the lifetime of the negative impact that undiagnosed ADHD had on the way I saw myself, and at the same time, she’s given me practical tools that actually help with the day-to-day challenges. I’ve learned to accept what I can and can’t do, without guilt or shame, and, for the first time, I’ve started to embrace the genuinely great things my ADHD brings too.

Vicky is warm, affirming, supportive, incredibly caring and is very real and honest about her own late diagnosis with ADHD. She gives me hope and I always feel very validated by her. Vicky’s rare combination of both counselling and coaching is hard to find and I’ve never experienced this kind of support before. It’s been life changing. Thank you so much Vicky.

More recently she noticed signs of ADHD in me which is something I hadn’t noticed and that’s what led to my diagnosis. It’s made such a difference in how I understand myself.

Vicky is honestly one of the easiest people to talk to. She’s so friendly, calm and down to earth. I always feel completely comfortable in her sessions, no matter what I’m going through. It’s hard to put into words how much she’s helped me. She just has a way of making everything feel less heavy.

I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone needing support. She makes you feel properly heard.

It must take a lot to listen to others and show so much empathy and understanding.  You have such a big heart, and it makes you great at your job. Your honesty has always comforted me, knowing that you have been there too. You are my inspiration  

I can’t even begin to imagine where I would be if I had never begun counselling with you. It’s not worth imagining about, as I know it would not be a good place in comparison to where I am now. I just wanted to make sure you know how valued you are. How inspiring you are and how much you change the lives of your clients. You don’t just impact your clients; it helps all those around them too. You change so many lives and Vicky you are amazing!
