Victoria "Vicky" Leithes , NCPS

Victoria "Vicky" Leithes is a UK-licensed counsellor with nine years of professional experience, offering a warm, client-centered approach to therapy. She qualified in 2012 as a person-centered counsellor and holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling certification that reflects formal training in therapeutic practice. Vicky draws on the principles of person-centered work to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can explore their feelings and life experiences at their own pace.

She has supported clients dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, personality difficulties, trauma, abuse, and depression, and she helps those navigating relationship challenges and major life transitions. Vicky emphasizes the inherent value and potential of each person and focuses on empowering clients to tap into their own resources for healing and growth. While person-centered therapy remains the foundation of her work, she adapts her methods to suit individual needs, tailoring interventions to match a client’s goals and circumstances.

Vicky approaches therapy with compassion and respect, aiming to walk alongside clients as they pursue greater self-awareness, meaningful change, and a more fulfilling life. Her practice centers on honoring each client’s perspective and supporting practical steps toward wellbeing.

Client-Centered Support Delivered Remotely

Victoria "Vicky" Leithes bases her remote practice in client-centered therapy, a compassionate approach that emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and respect for each person's lived experience. This method helps clients who are working through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, or trauma by focusing on their own insights and strengths and by creating a supportive space for personal growth.

In addition to person-centered work, Vicky uses a flexible, tailored approach by integrating other modalities as needed to suit each client's concerns and goals. This adaptable method allows her to respond to issues like addictions, PTSD, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions with interventions selected to fit the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vicky works collaboratively with clients to determine what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical benefits - they make scheduling more flexible, reduce travel time, and can provide continuity of care through life changes. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to engage in therapy in a way that fits everyday life.
