My name is Vikki. I am the counsellor behind Make Yourself Counselling. I bring over 30 years of frontline experience as a family practitioner in safeguarding alongside my current role as a mental health recovery worker. This means my empathy is backed up by robust understanding of complex trauma and the mental health system. My path to becoming a counsellor wasn't just academic, it was truly personal. After navigating the complexities of domestically abusive relationship's I sought support from a counsellor, she didn't just listen she helped me to transform. I know firsthand that counselling doesn't just help it changes lives
​I specialise in empowering women and girls aged 16 and older. I am driven by feminist principles, and my goal is to support every client in discovering her inner strength and to stand in her own power. Whatever challenges you may be navigating, I offer a collaborative space to help you unpick whatever is important to you.
Reaching out can feel daunting. To make it easier, you can simply send me a message saying: 'I’m interested in learning more about your support for women.' I offer sessions both face-to-face and securely online. Let me know which feels most comfortable for you, and we can schedule an introductory call to see if we’re a good fit. I aim to respond in 48 hours

I offer integrative person-centred therapy for women and girls. This approach offers support that fits you, not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's flexible, adapts as life changes, and helps you feel heard and understood. With a focus on your goals and values, it encourages self-awareness, confidence, and lasting emotional well-being.
