About me and my therapy practice
Eating Disorders, Autism & ADHD, Chronic Pain - Neuroaffirmative Online and Telephone Counselling Throughout the UK
Are you struggling with your relationship with food?
You might be experiencing restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, or feeling constantly preoccupied with food. You may find yourself thinking about how to compensate for what you鈥檝e eaten, or feeling stuck in patterns that are confusing, distressing, or overwhelming.
Whether these difficulties are recent or something you鈥檝e been living with for a long time, you are not alone and support is available.
I offer neuroaffirmative eating disorder counselling across the UK, supporting individuals experiencing disordered eating, as well as those who identify as autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent.
Eating Disorder & Disordered Eating Counselling
I specialise in working with eating disorders and disordered eating, including:
Restriction and dieting cycles
Binge eating and loss of control around food
Emotional eating
Food-related anxiety and obsessive thoughts
Compensatory behaviours
You do not need a diagnosis to access support; you deserve to feel heard and supported.
Together, we will explore the emotional, psychological, and relational factors that are shaping your experience. My aim is to support you in developing a more compassionate, sustainable relationship with food and with yourself.
Autism, ADHD & Neurodivergent Counselling
I work with autistic and ADHD clients, including those who are self-identified or diagnosed later in life.
Exploring neurodivergence can bring a mix of clarity, grief, relief, and uncertainty. It can lead to rethinking your identity, your past experiences, and how you relate to yourself and others.
In our work together, we can gently explore how your neurodivergence connects to your relationship with food, while supporting your needs in a way that feels respectful, affirming, and realistic.
Practice description
How I Work
I offer a welcoming, non-judgemental, trauma-informed space where you can explore your experiences safely and at your own pace.
I work pluralistically, which means I don鈥檛 believe there is one single 鈥渞ight鈥 way to do therapy. Instead, I draw on a range of approaches and adapt our work to suit you鈥攜our needs, your goals, and what feels most helpful at any given time.
My focus is you: your story, your experiences, and what matters to you.
My work is informed by:
Transactional Analysis
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Person-Centred Therapy
Schema Therapy
I also integrate elements of CBT, narrative therapy, Gestalt, and psychodynamic approaches to create therapy that is flexible and tailored to you.
Chronic Pain
I also have a particular interest in chronic pain and the impact it can have on emotional wellbeing and day-to-day life.
With a background in healthcare, I bring an understanding of the interaction between physical health, chronic conditions, and psychological experiences.
About Me
My name is Vikki, and I have worked in healthcare for nearly 20 years as a Chiropractor before training as a counsellor.
Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of people, and it has always been important to me that individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered. This experience has shaped my understanding of the connection between physical health, chronic illness, and emotional wellbeing.
My own lived experience, including recovery from an eating disorder and being neurodivergent, deeply informs my work. I aim to offer a compassionate, neuroaffirming space where you feel able to explore your experiences without judgement.
I don鈥檛 believe that anyone is a problem that needs fixing. Therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself in a new light, and to move towards a way of living that feels more sustainable, authentic, and aligned with who you are.
Alongside my work, I have a love for teddy bears, football, music, and human bodies.
My first session
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My aim is to create a space where you feel comfortable bringing whatever feels important to you.
Before your first appointment I will ask you to complete some forms and agree to our counselling contract - this gives us both clarity around the process and logistics of counselling.
Together we can explore your experiences, develop new perspectives, and find ways of moving forward that feel meaningful and manageable.
I offer online and telephone counselling across the UK. If you鈥檙e considering starting therapy, you are welcome to get in touch to ask questions or arrange an initial conversation.
