About Vicky

Vicky Johal is an integrative counsellor with three years of professional experience. She holds NCPS accreditation and works from the United Kingdom. Vicky focuses on creating a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through stressful or upsetting life moments.

She helps with stress and anxiety, grief and low self-esteem, and the practical strains of parenting. Vicky also supports people managing big life changes and those who want to build motivation and confidence. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her approach emphasises listening carefully and responding to the person in front of her. Conversations aim to identify patterns that make life harder and to try out practical ways to cope. Vicky keeps things straightforward and works at a pace the client finds comfortable.

She describes the work as collaborative: the client and counsellor set goals together and review progress as they go. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere where they can name difficult feelings and start to find manageable steps forward.

Vicky welcomes enquiry from English-speaking adults in the UK. If you are a parent feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, or coping with loss, she can help you sort through options and decide on the next steps.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Vicky practises an integrative approach that draws on well-established therapeutic techniques to meet individual needs. That means she blends different methods depending on what the person brings and what seems most useful in practice. The work typically focuses on understanding current difficulties and trying out practical ways to cope.

Two common strands you might notice in sessions are person-centred work and problem-focused techniques. Person-centred work emphasises listening and building a safe, non-judgemental relationship so people can make sense of their feelings. Problem-focused techniques concentrate on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes to improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through options, set goals with the client, and adjust methods as needs and priorities change. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and doable.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for this counsellor. Online work can make regular check-ins simpler and allow people to match appointments to their routine.
