Victoria "Vicky" Leithes , NCPS

Victoria "Vicky" Leithes is a UK-licensed, client-centered counsellor who combines professional training with a compassionate, strengths-based approach. She qualified in 2012 as a person-centered counsellor and brings nine years of hands-on experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, personality difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Vicky uses the principles of client-centered work to create a respectful, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

She adapts her methods to meet each person's unique needs, drawing on additional therapeutic techniques as appropriate rather than following a single formula. That flexibility makes it possible to address a range of challenges - from relationship and life transitions to deeper issues related to trauma and mood. Vicky believes that seeking help is a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life, and she aims to support clients as they build awareness, resilience, and practical coping strategies.

Vicky holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and she is committed to walking alongside people as they work toward meaningful, lasting change. Her practice emphasizes respect for each client’s perspective and collaboration in setting goals and next steps.

Client-Centered Care Online and Flexible Session Options

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Vicky's practice. This approach focuses on listening deeply, reflecting a person’s experience, and offering unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment. It is often helpful for people working through anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Alongside a person-centered stance, Vicky adapts additional therapeutic methods to meet individual needs, tailoring techniques to address issues such as addictions or overlapping emotional concerns. This flexible, client-led orientation allows the work to shift as goals and circumstances evolve.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vicky works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She guides that decision-making so clients feel involved and supported.

Online therapy with Vicky is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible access that can fit around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to attend sessions from locations that are convenient for each person.
