About Vicky

Vicky Johal works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes using an integrative counselling style. She is accredited by the NCPS and has three years' experience supporting people from the United Kingdom.

Vicky works in a practical way. She listens to what is happening now and what has led to it. Then she offers ways of thinking and small techniques to try between sessions. Sessions are paced to suit the person and their current needs.

Her approach draws on different evidence-based techniques to match each person's situation. This can mean talking through practical steps, looking at patterns of thinking, or using short exercises in session. The emphasis is on methods that people can use in daily life to manage stress and low mood.

Vicky often helps with parenting pressures and the strain of life changes. She supports people dealing with grief and the knock-on effects on confidence and motivation. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on building small, workable changes.

People can expect straightforward, respectful sessions without judgement. Booking starts with an online matching questionnaire and a first scheduled appointment. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Vicky uses an integrative approach that blends practical techniques and reflective discussion. Practical techniques may include short exercises and coping strategies to use between sessions, useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Reflective discussion looks at patterns in thinking and behaviour and helps people decide on small changes to try in daily life.

The therapist regards finding the right approach as collaborative. She will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant to the client's situation.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a busy day, or letting someone join without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical benefits while adapting the approach to each person's needs.
