Victoria "Vicky" Leithes , NCPS

Victoria "Vicky" Leithes is a UK-licensed therapist with nine years of professional experience who draws on a person-centered foundation to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. She qualified in 2012 as a person-centered counsellor and holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects her training and commitment to ethical practice. Victoria works in a compassionate, client-centered way that prioritizes each person’s unique perspective and innate capacity for growth.

She supports individuals coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, eating issues, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, and ADHD. Her additional focus areas include codependency, commitment issues, drug and alcohol addiction, panic disorder and panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and women’s issues. Victoria adapts her methods to fit the needs of each client, combining the principles of person-centered work with other therapeutic techniques when appropriate.

Victoria aims to create a non-judgmental space where people can explore feelings, build insight, and develop practical coping strategies. She emphasizes collaboration, respect for individual experience, and helping clients tap into their own resources to move toward more fulfilling, sustainable change.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy

Victoria practices primarily from a client-centered perspective, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. In this approach she focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment and helps clients clarify their values and goals - it is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Alongside person-centered work, Victoria adapts other therapeutic methods to meet individual needs, blending techniques as appropriate to address stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and related challenges. This flexible, integrative mindset allows her to tailor interventions to what feels most helpful for each client.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Victoria works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they explore options and adjust the work as needed to support progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people seeking support from licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face connection without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or more flexible communication. These formats increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
