About Vicky
Counsellor Vicky Bond Jones is registered with the NCPS and has three years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting and low self-esteem. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics and caregiver stress.
Vicky uses client-centred techniques to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Psychodynamic ideas help her look at long-standing patterns that arise from past relationships.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what someone finds manageable. Vicky aims to help people name their difficulties, try new ways of responding and practise coping skills between meetings. She explains approaches in plain terms and checks in about progress as work continues.
Her background includes working with young people, parents and school settings through a charity role. That work covered anxiety, stress, low confidence, attachment concerns, grief and relationship difficulties. She has completed a sequence of counselling diplomas up to level 5 and holds NCPS accreditation.
Practical steps are explained at the first appointment. People are invited to ask questions about how sessions run and what to expect. Vicky offers support for a wide range of everyday and complex concerns and will discuss together what might help next.
How these approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or understand about themselves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and small behaviour experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood.
Psychodynamic ideas explore repeated patterns that began in earlier relationships. This can help people see why certain reactions keep happening and open up different ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That discussion guides which methods are tried and how sessions are structured, so the plan fits the person's needs.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel. Phone or video sessions can shorten travel time, allow a quieter meeting with less setup, or make it simpler to check in during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you arrange the first appointment.
