About Vicki
Vicki Baxter offers practical, evidence-based counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. Vicki aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and choices.
Vicki has three years of professional experience working with issues such as depression, coping with life changes and grief. She also helps with relationship worries, family pressures, parenting strains, self-esteem and career concerns.
How Vicki works
Her approach focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her and on small steps that can make daily life more manageable. Sessions are paced to suit each individual. Vicki creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they think and feel.
She listens, reflects and works with people to find practical ways forward. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is noted as BACP. Vicki draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns, manage symptoms and explore options for change.
She encourages skill-building that can be used between sessions. Starting therapy often feels hard, and Vicki recognises that. She supports people through the early steps and through the longer work if needed.
Her aim is to help people regain steadier days and clearer choices.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Vicki uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical help. One approach helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on building everyday coping skills and routines to manage stress, grief and major life transitions. These methods aim to give tools people can use between sessions to stabilise mood and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vicki will talk through options with each person and agree which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adapts the work as needs change, checking in regularly so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
