About Victoria

Victoria "Vicky" Leithes is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She qualified in 2012 as a person-centred counsellor and brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions. Her way of working aims to make people feel listened to and understood when they first reach out.

Vicky helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions. She also supports those affected by trauma, abuse and addictions. Many people come for help with self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, anger, and work-related strain.

Her practice is grounded in client-centred therapy, which focuses on the person's own experience and pace. Vicky adapts her approach to match each person’s needs rather than following a single template. Sessions are conversational and driven by what matters to the client.

She takes time to build trust and to understand what a person wants from therapy. Together they set goals that feel realistic and relevant to everyday life. Vicky emphasises practical steps alongside emotional reflection so clients can make gradual changes.

If you are considering counselling for panic, post-traumatic stress, codependency, addiction, parenting strains, or women’s issues, she offers a steady, non-judgemental presence. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake process to match with her and schedule sessions based on availability.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and perspective. It uses active listening, acceptance and open questions so clients can explore feelings and choices. This approach is often chosen for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it helps people feel heard and understood.

Vicky also adapts what she does to suit each person rather than following a fixed method. That means she and the client can try different rhythms and conversation styles until they find what helps most. Deciding on an approach is a shared process, so the therapist will check in and adjust as goals change.

If you are considering online counselling, confirm the session formats available before booking. The key practical benefits are flexibility and easier fitting of appointments into daily life. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose quieter timings around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help therapy fit your routine rather than reshaping your life.
