About Victoria
Victoria "Vicky" Leithes draws on nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with NCPS, and she describes her work as person-centred while adapting to each person’s needs. Vicky aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful.
She keeps sessions practical and rooted in what matters to the individual. Vicky focuses on everyday problems as well as deep hurts. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with addictions, trauma and the aftermath of abuse. Relationship worries, intimacy issues, parenting strain and career change are other areas she regularly addresses. Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental.
Sessions centre on the person’s experience and choices rather than labels. Vicky listens for what each client wants to change and tailors the pace accordingly. She encourages people to notice their strengths and small steps forward.
Practical techniques and honest conversation are balanced in her sessions. Some weeks focus on building coping strategies for panic or cravings. Other weeks may centre on making sense of past trauma or navigating a painful loss.
The work often mixes short-term problem solving with deeper personal insight. People meet Vicky for different reasons and different lengths of time. She explains options clearly and helps set reasonable goals.
If someone wants a calmer day-to-day life or to face difficult memories, she supports those aims in a straightforward, steady way.

Approaches Victoria lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice the therapist helps the client set the agenda. Together they decide what to try, how fast to move and which practical tools to use. That collaborative decision-making continues when working online as the counsellor checks in and adjusts the focus to suit the person’s goals.
Online sessions can fit different needs and schedules. Video calls work well when visual contact helps with emotional connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a quicker check-in or when screen time is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers typing over speaking.
Working remotely makes it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can offer regular appointments and flexible formats so people can choose what works best for them.
