Are you feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed, perhaps you are navigating a major life transition or quietly carrying old wounds? Are you questioning your identity, recovering from trauma, or longing for a sense of belonging and connection? Often, after spending much of our life caring for others or keeping things together, we can find ourselves exhausted, uncertain, or disconnected from who we are. You may be seeking clarity, healing, or simply a space where you can finally bring your full, unfiltered self without judgement.

Hi, I'm Vicky to begin I’d like to acknowledge how difficult it can be making that first step to recognising you may need some support. It takes courage to admit you may need a helping hand, or someone to help bear that heavy weight you may be carrying. Something I believe most of us need at some point in our lives. It can be difficult to turn to those closest to us for fear we may be judged or not truly listened to. So, I offer a safe confidential space for you to be heard, and to explore the issues that may be troubling you, in a non-judgemental way. Somewhere you can lead at your own pace.

Life can sometimes leave us carrying experiences that weigh heavily, feelings of anxiety, shame, low confidence, or a sense of simply surviving rather than living fully. Often, these struggles emerge for understandable reasons, even when they no longer feel helpful. I provide a safe and accepting space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore what may be happening beneath the surface. Working together, at a pace that feels manageable, we can begin to make sense of difficult experiences, explore new ways of coping, and support meaningful change.

My aim is to help you feel at ease and supported, and to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Whatever you are carrying right now, you don't have to carry it alone. Through therapy, we can explore parts of yourself that you feel unable to share with others; in a space where you really feel heard and seen. Perhaps you have experienced trauma or you are facing difficulties in relationships. If you're ready to feel lighter, we can start with a 15 minute chat to see if we're a good fit. I offer face to face and online sessions. Being integrative means I am trained in more than one approach to counselling, allowing flexibility for what works for you

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
