Victoria Pike

Victoria Pike is a BACP counsellor who works from a humanistic, person-centred stance. She focuses on building a warm, trusting connection and tries to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental. Vicky aims to be alongside people as they talk through difficult moments and find clearer ways forward.

She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those facing major life changes and body image concerns. Her practice includes work with issues connected to cancer, caregiver strain, chronic illness and disability, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges.

In sessions she listens closely and follows each person’s pace. The person-centred approach treats the client as the expert in their own life, so she encourages people to explore what matters most to them. She adapts the flow of sessions to each person’s needs rather than pushing a fixed agenda.

Vicky has five years’ experience working with people from varied backgrounds, including those affected by maternal anxiety and people in academic settings. She often supports clients dealing with isolation, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse.

People can expect a steady, compassionate presence and practical conversation about next steps. The aim is to create a space where difficult feelings can be named, understood and worked through at a comfortable pace.

How her approaches work for online and remote therapy

Her practice is rooted in a person-centred, humanistic way of working which places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. This approach involves attentive listening, reflecting back what you say, and encouraging your own choices about what to explore; it can help with anxiety, low mood and finding clearer ways to cope with life changes.

She also focuses on supporting people affected by illness and caregiving stress, using practical conversation to address day-to-day challenges and emotional impacts. This kind of work often includes naming difficult feelings, discussing coping strategies and helping clients decide what matters most to them.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ways of working suit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the style as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or medical appointments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
