Professional Counselling and Clinical Supervision

A very warm welcome to my website ‘Vic’s Therapy and Supervision’, I am a counsellor and supervisor located in Widnes. I offer professional counselling and clinical supervision to both men and women on an individual basis. Furthermore I offer supervision for therapists, counsellors, and psychotherapists, and equally providing support for student and trainee counsellors. All of my services are carefully tailored to meet your unique needs, thereby ensuring you receive the appropriate level of support. I provide a supportive space where you can explore challenges, reflect on your experiences and develop greater understanding and resilience.

Working together:

Hi, I’m Vicki, an integrative counsellor and supervisor with over 10 years of experience working in Widnes. Over the years, I have supported individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, feelings of being stuck, low confidence and self-esteem and negative thoughts, feelings and challenging behaviours. And through this experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of the challenges you face.

At the heart of my work, my mission is to provide a warm and compassionate counselling and supervision service that fosters personal growth and emotional well-being. Furthermore, my approach creates a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where you can feel truly heard. Together, we can explore your challenges at your own pace. Building self-awareness, resilience and emotional well-being, and in time, work towards achieving meaningful and lasting positive change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, or life changes, I am here to support you.

Finding the right support for you can make all the difference, and as an integrative counsellor, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I am here to walk alongside you, adapting my way of working to meet your individual needs. From the very beginning, you will be listened to, accepted, and respected. In turn, I will support you in working through any challenges you may be experiencing, while ensuring we move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
