Vicky Johal
Practical support for everyday challenges
About Vicky
Vicky Johal is an integrative counsellor with three years of practice. She holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS, and works from the United Kingdom. Vicky focuses on practical help for everyday struggles so people can feel steadier and more confident.
Her sessions centre on stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and big life changes. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method.
Background and approach
Vicky aims to listen with sensitivity and without judgement. She creates a calm space where concerns can be talked through at a manageable pace. The focus is on what helps now and what small steps feel achievable.
In practice she adapts techniques from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to fit the person in front of her. That might mean working on coping strategies, building motivation, or looking at how day-to-day routines affect mood. Sessions are collaborative and practical.
People can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance rather than long theory. Vicky helps break problems into bite-sized pieces and supports realistic goal-setting. The aim is to leave each session with something useful to try before the next meeting.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Vicky draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person. One common approach uses practical coping strategies - tools to manage worry, stress and sudden changes in mood. These are simple exercises and ways of thinking that can be practised between sessions to make everyday life feel easier. Another familiar method focuses on building self-esteem and motivation through small, achievable goals. This involves spotting unhelpful patterns, trying alternative actions, and celebrating progress. It helps when confidence has dipped or motivation is low. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made. Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging suit people who prefer to write or need flexible timing. These options increase accessibility and let people choose what feels most useful for their routine and comfort.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
