Vicky has a way of working with people and young people that is rare. She is able to let people experience a warmth and comfort, that is why she was able to work with both my older children. My middle child Jasmine says Vicky was easy to talk to, very understanding and always felt better after her sessions. More...

Counselling
Vicky has been incredibly kind and supportive. On multiple occassions we had to rearrange due to unexpected events occurring on my end, or I wasn't able to stay for a full hour session. Vicky was incredibly flexible, and even credited me back time when hardware problems came up or the aforementioned times we had to cut the session short. She has been incredibly helpful, and I would highly recommend Vicky for Psychotherapy. More...

I can’t describe my calls with Vicky with anything short of wonderful. She is the most kind, caring and insightful person and I’d always leave sessions feeling relieved and grateful smiling.
Based on my experience, I confidently mean when I say that with her, hope becomes new found strength!! She explains things in such easy ways to understand and is very good at how she goes about the session with you. She’ll make you laugh too!

Psychologists
My workplace were worried that I wasn't able to fulfil my role after a blackout. Had MRI scan and nothing showed up. Specialist recommended me to use a psychologist.
I picked Vicky because she looked very friendly and when you are at your wits end you need to be able to talk to that person.
Vicky has been a godsend to me. Through i have out that I am neurodivergent at nearly 60.
Vicky is heping me to understand what that means, how do I want go forward, what would I like my life to look like. She is very very patient and she has a quiet passion about her that makes me want to really sort my life.
Vicky will ask you what you would like even if you dont know, she will help you find the first step to finding you. I've got a long way to go but I know with Vicky's help i going to achieve it.
Thank you for your being you especially listening to me rant when I'm really confused about things. You make sense when I cant.

Vicky is absolutely amazing! She got me from our first conversation together and has really changed my life. My first time in therapy, I was slightly sceptical and had no idea what to expect. Vicky has gently guided me through my issues and brought me out the other side. I cannot recommend Vicky enough. More...

Maria
Therapist
I needed someone who understands childhood trauma and narcissistic family dynamic. And Vicky was the perfect fit for me. She gave me deep and detailed insights into what had happed to me that helped me make some sense of it. Vicky guided me step by step throughout the whole process and gave me tools and coping mechanisms I needed. I will be forever grateful for her help and support and I would highly reccommend Vicky if you are in a similar situation. I have definitely benefited from her experience and knowledge. Thank you so much Vicky. More...

Oscar Shepherd
Hypnotherapy
My experience working alongside Vicky through my complex struggles with mental and physical health has been liberating and extremely helpful.
Vicky has a special set of skills and knowledge which enables her to be compassionate while also practical in her therapy approach, having that balance is important.
No journey through trauma is easy but having the right people to counsel and help makes the burden lighter and moves you closer to wholeness. Vicky is great at doing that.

My husband and I are very pleased to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Ms. Vicky Jellinek with whom we had the privilege of working for the last year.
In every interaction, Ms. Jellinek has demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, compassion, and clinical expertise, at the same time offering a high amount of flexibility to us. We would like to mention that Ms. Jellinek possesses a rare ability to integrate strong scientific knowledge with a warm and approachable manner. They consistently create a safe, supportive environment where we felt heard and respected, which has been instrumental in fostering growth and meaningful change. Her therapeutic interventions seemed thoughtful, evidence-based, and tailored to our unique needs.
The combination of insight, compassion, and clinical skill of Ms. Jellinek makes them an invaluable asset to any professional setting!
We give her our highest recommendation without reservation.

Stacey
Hypnotherapy
When I first spoke with Vicky, she was confident that my time with her would be life changing and honestly that’s exactly what has happened. She’s helped me to understand myself, advocate for myself, believe in myself and feel happier. I’m able to be authentically myself without feelings of crippling anxiety. I’m calmer, more present and living in the moment. It’s truly one of the best things I’ve ever done. Thank you so much. More...
Rochelle
Vicky has been absolutely amazing during my period of therapy. Vicky has made me realise and explore my past and from within in order to move forward. Vicky’s support, guidance and weekly exercises have helped me emotionally heal and I am looking forward to the future with a positive mindset. Thank you Vicky for everything and always being available when required. I would definitely recommend Vicky for those looking for a therapist. More...
Jade
Therapist
I went to vicky with help for managing my DID. She has been fantastic and helped me so much. She is the only person who ive worked with that has helped me make significant progress and I couldnt recommend her enough especially for support with dissociative issues.
Florina Mauna
Working with Vicky has been a truly transformative experience. From the very beginning, she created a safe and understanding space where I could explore my pain without fear or judgment.
She didn’t just listen—she guided me through every aspect of my struggles, helping me understand not only what I was going through but also why.
Her insight and compassion have been invaluable. She helped me make sense of emotions I couldn’t put into words, untangling thoughts and feelings that once seemed overwhelming. With her support, I was able to navigate my healing process with clarity and strength.
Beyond that, Vicky made me believe in myself again. She helped me see my own resilience and gave me hope when I needed it most. Thanks to her, I feel more empowered, self-aware, and confident in my ability to move forward.
I am incredibly grateful for the work we’ve done together. Vicky is an exceptional therapist, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking not just healing, but true personal growth.

Suzanne
Therapist
I took the Masterclass program with Vicky and I honestly felt like I was falling apart before and now i would say I'm so much more confident in myself and my relationship. I had a quite complex past to delve into and and Vicky really helped me find ways to over come it. This was life changing and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help me be more myself More...
Katherine Martin
Psychotherapy
I've been seeing Vicky for four or five months now and I am so happy to have found her.
She is professional, very patient and makes me feel at ease.
I trust her so much that I can tell her anything. She gives me homework and makes me think about things from a different perspective.
It's taken me a very long time to find the right person and I am confident that I will successfully 'beat my demons' with the help and support from Vicky.
Thank you.

Megs
Therapist
I was really nervous going into therapy, unsure if what I was going through was ‘big enough’ to warrant help, or if others needed it more than I did. I was worried I might say something weird or that I wouldn't be taken seriously. But from the very first conversation with Vicky, all those fears disappeared. She made me feel completely heard and understood. Vicky is incredibly wise, and speaking with her feels like confiding in an older, more experienced friend who helps lift the weight off your shoulders and makes you feel 'normal' again. More...
Kerry

Vicky is a great therapist I am so grateful to be working with her. I can see improvements already, I can not put into words how pleased I am with the results, I am noticing how it has changed my life with regards to my relationship's in all areas, my confidence, boundaries, and self esteem. If you are needing a therapist do it, its scary but so worth it. I am so grateful to myself for investing in my mental health. Thank you Vicky More...
Julian
Truly life affirming!
Vicky has helped me positively reframe my life at a point that I felt lost, exhausted and overwhelmed.
I will be eternally grateful for choosing her as my guide, Vicky’s depth of knowledge is broad and she is rigorous yet empathic in her effortless approach. She is keen to make sure you acquire sets of skills, providing lots of reference at the end of the client centred sessions to help bolster your understanding. I would implore you to take the next step; make contact, she will turn your life around.
It may feel difficult at times and take longer than you anticipate, but my advice would be to give in to the journey, embrace what will be a thoroughly rewarding experience. Vicky is paced, methodical, warm and articulate in her therapy. Her insight is evidently steeped in years of learning, yet she will not bamboozle you.
If you are effected the same way that I was from sessions, by the end you will be able to see your issues objectively and you will be able to put each one in the correct place in your mind. Vicky helps you to make sense of the non sense, truly a unique experience to see night turn into day. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was diagnosed with DID 4 years ago I have been through counselling and doctors and even hospital but I didn't find anything that could help or understand and explain what I was going through, I thought I was going mad.

She is amazing she understands everything about DID she explains why it happens and she makes proper sense of it all . So her phone call basically saved me . So if anyone is suffering from dissociation disorder please get intouch with this lady I totally understand DID now.Vicky is one in a million and now she is my best friend More...

I felt low, vulnerable and embarrassed but I knew I needed help. Vicky told me by the end of the programme I would be a different woman. I didn't believe her but I did the work anyhow. I am extremely happy to confirm that she delivered her promise. I now feel the world is my oyster and anything is possible. Thank you Vicky. More...

Robert Freeman
Counselling
I had been in an extremely bad place for just over 14 years. I wasn't living, I was waiting to die. I came close many times, just wishing it was over.
Doctor after doctor, same generic diagnosis again and again. Here's some tablets etc. The usual. Years past but nothing got better. I don't want to go anymore into it.
Then I met Vicky. It was one of those thing's when you know you connect. Then it was the fact it actually felt she listened. She didn't respond with what a course told or suggested she had too. She responded to me. Where I was. Who I was at that time. Something no NHS doctor etc ever did as they were just waiting for the next patient, then the next etc.
The time she gave me was mine and it wasn't rushed or wasted. Yes I had some bad day's, but only towards the end did I realise it was actually needed. It was part of the mending, my journey.
Vicky led me to somewhere I didn't expect when I asked her for help. I wanted, needed help as I was at my end. She didn't just pull me back from the edge, she gave me value and helped me realise who I actually am. I turn 50 soon and I had never truly understood who I am. I do now.
Vicky listened, she didn't tell me I had to do this or that. She guided me. All the Doctors I have seen and met up until I met Vicky, did not get who I actually was or what caused my actual symptoms etc. Not one.
Vicky saw something in me none of the rest did. Something I had never known myself. She carried me whilst l struggled, while I tried to understand, whilst I climbed out of my hell. A hell which I honestly thought was going to consume me whole.
Vicky gave me a new beginning. A reason to live. The strength I needed and brought me to what actually caused my symptoms/pain. This is not only a review for Vicky, it is to say thank you to her. She didn't just help me, she gave me back something I had lost along time ago. My soul. Thank you.

I wish there were more stars to rate how amazing Vicky is as I would give her a thousand if I could :)
I’ve been having Hypnotherapy sessions with Vicky to help treat the anxiety, and ocd, which I’ve had for years.
The results have been mind blowing.
I wish I had of found Vicky alot earlier in my life, but the fact I have been blessed to be having treatment with her now is something i’m so grateful for.
She calms me, and makes me feel stronger from my core.
I felt lost for so long and she has managed to bring me back to myself, I didn’t even think it was possible, but she’s remarkable at what she does.
Vicky has made me see that I am stronger than the anxiety and ocd traits, that they no longer serve a part in my life anymore.
After my Hypnotherapy I feel so relaxed and calm and more in control, of my mind, since my sessions the anxiety symptoms have gone from sky high to a low level and the ocd symptoms have gone from checking 3-4 times to just doing one good check and carrying on with my day.
I was waking up every morning with really high anxiety and a feeling of dread for the day, now I wake up and feel alot less anxious.
When I feel anxious I now have a safe place I can go to in my thoughts which Vicky has shown me visually from Hypnotherapy sessions, this has been so helpful for me, and works.
I feel like Vicky has held the light for me in the dark and given me the tools to not be chased by the shadows that have been holding me back.
I have alot more work to do with Vicky which I’m looking forward to with more therapy to dig alot deeper. But the amount of change I feel already feels great.
Vicky is like an angel.

If there were more starts I would click them all.
I have been working with vicky about 7 months. I've been let down and dropped by previous professionals and helped build up my confidence to trust her and the process and show she really doesn't give up!
That, to me, is important. I feel listened to and heard vicky takes the time to understand and gives a safe space to talk and feel comfortable, feel like someone actually cares, strong communicator, and is so patient.
I really couldn't thank her more for the beautiful kind soul she really is, and it shows in her work. Thank you for just being you and all the support you have to give.

Jen
Vicky has been a big blessing in my life, once I spoke with her for the first time I felt a connection straight away.
She is so kind and has the ability to make me feel calm the moment I hear her soft calming voice, she is such a wonderful lady with such a beautiful soul, she is helping me so much in finding my strength again after many years of struggling and feeling lost.
Vicky helps me feel stronger inside, she is helping me understand my thoughts and fears are not me, that I am stronger than them, she gives me the ability to see myself through a brighter light, all the while guiding me into finding my true self again….she is so positive and makes you feel like you matter.
I look forward to my sessions with Vicky she is honestly amazing!

I was nervous about starting therapy but Vicky makes you feel very comfortable. She has helped me to reframe some disempowering thoughts I was having that have been keeping me stuck. I feel more equipped to break the cycle and to see the positives in my life. If you’re considering therapy I’d definitely recommend Vicky 😀 More...

I reached out to Vicky after struggling with some issues and realising I was not myself. She helped me to work this through and try to figure out what was wrong in a very down to earth, friendly and step by step way. I was at ease straight away and am getting great results. I would recommend Vicky to anyone especially those nervous and new to therapy. More...

I cannot speak highly enough of Vicky, she’s been absolutely amazing for me and my partner.

Mandy Nuttall
From my initial phone consultation I knew I wanted to work with Vicky. Ive only been working with Vicky for just over a month but have had weekly sessions. I've been blown away by her knowledge and expertise, I've had counselling over many years but never had results like this. Vicky has shown me how to be a stronger person, I've actually learnt to love myself and like the better person I'm becoming. It's not an easy journey when trying to discover my best self but vicky has shown me how and given me the tools to carry on this journey. I will never look back. Im learning to live and love my life now and this will certainly only get better. I am now beginning to live a drama free life. Vicky has taught me how to be my authentic self. Vicky provides feedback and continually gives homework after each sessiin. I feel confident when putting boundaries in place, I dont live in fear now. My confidence, self worth and self esteem are all shining through. My friends have noticed a change in how I deal with difficult situations, my relationship is more meaningful and healthy. I feel more secure in the love of others because vicky just has a wonderful way of helping me to do this. I still have a long way to go on my journey to recovery,but now I've discovered my truest self, I'm excited to carry on this journey with the help and support from Vicky. She truly is an amazing woman and very knowledgeable at what she does. Thank you Vicky for getting me this far and in such a short period of time. More...

PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder. It can develop after exposure to a traumatic event. Such as Severe loss, sexual assault, warfare, traffic collisions, child abuse, or other threats on a person's life. Symptoms may include disturbing thoughts, feelings, or dreams related to the events, mental or physical distress to trauma-related cues. Avoidance of trauma-related situations. Alterations in the way a person thinks and feels, and an increase in the fight-or-flight response. These symptoms last for more than a month after the event has taken place.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy.
NLP's creators claim there is a connection between neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression and psychosomatic illnesses.
