About Vickie
Vickie offers practical conversation about mood changes, panic, and trauma symptoms. She works with people coping with life changes such as separation or shifting roles, and with those dealing with loneliness or questions about life purpose. She also supports people managing workplace pressure and communication problems.
The biography notes experience supporting people with ADHD and the ways attention differences can affect relationships and daily routines. Vickie helps people repair trust and improve communication when relationship patterns have become painful, including situations where ADHD is a factor.
Sessions aim to unpack what is getting in the way and build manageable steps forward. Vickie prefers straightforward language and concrete tools rather than technical jargon. People can expect a calm, practical tone focused on what will help between sessions.
Her approach balances emotional understanding with actionable strategies. That might include coping techniques for panic or mood changes, and problem-solving around workplace or family stress. Vickie encourages small experiments that can lead to clearer choices and more confidence moving forward.

Approaches that guide online work
Vickie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on symptom management and coping skills for anxiety and panic; this involves learning grounding and breathing techniques and testing small behavioural steps to reduce avoidance and regain confidence. Another approach emphasises repairing communication and connection in relationships; it teaches clearer ways to express needs, set boundaries, and rebuild trust over time.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Vickie will discuss what matters most to the person and try different methods to see what fits. She tailors work to someone’s goals and everyday life, adjusting pace and focus as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth alternatives. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching process so sessions match personal needs and rhythms.
