Victoria "Vicki" Readings, BACP

Victoria "Vicki" Readings is a counselling therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and BACP registration - the BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK body for counselling professionals. She brings an Adlerian perspective to her work, exploring how lifestyle, family environment, childhood experiences and personal memories influence present-day patterns and relationships.

Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person, drawing on person-centred talking therapy alongside creative and metaphorical methods such as drawing and talking and phototherapy. Vicki integrates techniques designed to help people express themselves, deepen understanding and build practical strategies for daily life. She also blends mindfulness and holistic practices - including yoga and laughter yoga - when appropriate to support stress management and emotional regulation.

Vicki has experience addressing anxiety, stress, depression, family dynamics, relationship challenges, self-understanding and life transitions. She is experienced with military life and understands the particular pressures faced by service families. With a background in education, she is practiced in working with children, adolescents and adults, and offers support around parenting, pregnancy and childbirth, communication problems, separation and divorce, isolation and questions of life purpose and self-love.

She aims to create a supportive, empowering therapeutic relationship that helps people develop insight, coping skills and a clearer sense of direction. Vicki encourages clients to take the first step toward change and offers guidance throughout the therapy journey.

Adlerian, Person-Centred and Mindfulness Support Online

Victoria "Vicki" Readings uses a blend of therapeutic approaches suited to online work. Adlerian therapy looks at how early family life, social connections and personal goals shape current behaviour and relationships - it can help people who want to understand rhythmic patterns, family roles and life direction. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices - this approach supports issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, making them helpful for anxiety and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Vicki collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so that interventions remain relevant and effective.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home and choose a format that feels most comfortable for the individual. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt techniques for each mode to help clients progress toward their goals.
