Kay Vickers is a counsellor with 12 years' experience. She offers a friendly, down-to-earth way of working. She creates a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them without judgement.

She sees people who feel stuck, anxious or low, and those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues. She also helps with stress at work, compulsive or addictive behaviours, grief, sleep or eating problems, and parenting pressures. Kay pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns.

Background and approach

Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She uses well-known therapies and adapts them to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building skills to cope with difficult moments.

Kay also works with attachment, abandonment and codependency issues, and with problems such as jealousy, impulsivity and communication breakdowns. She supports people through separation, forgiveness work and the emotional fallout of betrayal. She is registered with BACP and NCPS, and practices in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged in several online formats. The first meetings tend to focus on what feels most urgent and what the person hopes to change.

Therapy approaches and online delivery

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being led by them. It often focuses on values and small steps to live in line with what matters, which can suit anxiety, stress and feeling stuck.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and offers empathy to help people make sense of their feelings and find their own solutions. This can be useful for low mood, grief and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and to keep talking when life is busy.
