About Get Real Therapy
What can you expect?
At Get Real Therapy, you will be met with compassion. Whether this is face to face or via video call, I aim to make you feel comfortable and able to be yourself. We will work together to explore what matters to you and move towards the goals that feel right for you.
The Way I Work
I believe you are the expert on your life. My role is to support you to explore your experiences, while offering gentle guidance and encouragement in a safe space. I work at the pace that you need. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but shaped by your individual goals.
About Me
I'm Vikki, an experienced CBT therapist with a background in supporting individuals through trauma, addiction and a wide range of mental health challenges. I offer a space that is non-judgemental, compassionate and yours.
I pride myself in being "down to earth" and offer a relaxed style of therapy.
While my foundation is Cognitive behavioural therapy, I feel it is important to meet you where you are at. The sessions are yours so you set the pace! Whether you want to laugh, cry or just breathe in silence - you choose.
How can I support you?
Anxiety
I can support you to overcome fear, stress, and anxiety. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and learn how these impact your behaviour, and develop healthier coping strategies to manage your anxiety. I have experience in working with OCD, health anxiety, and many other anxiety disorders.
Trauma
Living with the effects of trauma can feel overwhelming, but it is possible to recover. I use a gentle, trauma informed approach to CBT to work together to understand how past experiences are affecting you in the here and now - and find healthier ways to cope at your pace.
Depression
If you are feeling low, stuck, or disconnected, CBT can help. Together, we will explore the patterns that might be keeping you in that space and work on practical tools to lift your mood and regain control.
Addiction
CBT can help you understand triggers, thoughts, and behaviours that drive addictive patterns and build healthier ways to cope. Struggling with addiction can feel isolating but you don't have to go through it alone.
