Hello, I’m Vicky Carter

Welcome. I hope you enjoy exploring my website. Supporting people to live well and feel good has been at the heart of my professional life since I began working therapeutically in 1998, I have worked full-time within my private practice since 2003. I offer a compassionate and supportive space whether you are experiencing burnout, self-doubt, navigating a period of change, wish to attend a training course or rebalance and restore with Reiki. I am a qualified Counsellor, Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, Holistic Massage Therapist and Reiki Master Teacher and Trainer. I remain fascinated by the relationship between our body, mind and emotions, and by our remarkable capacity to heal, adapt and grow. I offer a holistic, integrated approach to support and enhance your personal development.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

That’s completely okay. You may know that you would like to work with me but feel unsure what would best support you.

My Approach

A holistic approach to your wellbeing

My approach is person-centred, collaborative and holistic. This means that we work with the whole of you, recognising that your thoughts, emotions, physical wellbeing, relationships, life experiences and circumstances are all interconnected.

Together, we can explore how the different aspects of your life influence one another and how they might dovetail more comfortably, allowing the whole of you to feel better supported. I will listen with gentleness and care, remain curious and take time to understand what you are experiencing, what matters to you and what you would like to change.

Depending upon your individual needs, our work may draw upon Counselling, Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Massage Therapy, Reiki Healing or a thoughtfully integrated combination of approaches. You will always remain at the centre of the work. My role is to offer a safe and compassionate space, professional knowledge, honest reflection and practical support as we move towards what you want to achieve.

Our work can be gentle while still being deeply effective. There is no pressure to move more quickly than feels right for you, yet there will always be a clear sense of purpose and direction. Whether you arrive feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or exhausted, or simply ready to make a positive change, you will find an unhurried space here and a steady person beside you. Come as you are, we will begin there

Client Experiences

Meaningful change, in their own words

Vicky probes gently and in my own time, she allows me to explore alternative ways of looking at things, she helps me open and unfold my story more. I have had counselling and therapy before, its always been structured, difficult and cold in comparison. This feels so much easier, less frightening. I feel that my journey is progressing on my own terms – Louise – Birmingham

I have been receiving Reiki from Vicky over a period of 7 months for a series of physical and mental health issues. We transitioned to distance Reiki during this period. The distance Reiki has been as powerful and as clearing as the face-to-face Reiki and has supported and healed issues during a particularly difficult time. Vicky is a highly skilled and experienced counsellor and accomplished Reiki healer who has had a profound transformative effect of myself and my life. She is so welcoming, compassionate, and supportive which helps you feel completely at ease in each session. Vicky has my highest recommendation. – KATIE A

Vicky is the only person I would call my counsellor and therapist, I wouldn’t choose anyone else. She is such a wonderful, warm, beautiful person, and a consumate professional. Her work is invaluable, and I’m amazed at the progress I have made with her help over the last few months. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, and suggest getting in touch with her for any therapeutic or counselling needs. – MELANIE H

Vicky is magic! She is such a kind, compassionate and caring person with a warm and calming presence. My first session itself was very transformative and Vicky patiently guides and supports you along. Highly recommend! – PRIYA K

Vicky is an amazing therapist. Her warm, understanding approach to coaching really helped me to move my life forward in a really helpful way. – MARK D

I always feel looked after, seen and heard with Vicky. She genuinely and authentically cares. I feel that’s one of the greatest qualities a human can possess. Never do I feel like a just another client. Vicky takes her seat and I feel her silent strength gently supporting me. She is strong enough to be kind – a great quality in a leader. As I speak with Vicky I notice how present she is, how engaging she is.  – LS – Edgbaston

Vicky is always so accommodating and conscientious, tailoring each session to support exactly what I need at that time. I was particularly impressed by the powerful effects of Reiki via video call. I am forever grateful for, and fascinated by the healing effects of Reiki, and I look forward to every session. Thank you for everything you have done for me, Vicky.

Vicky has supported me through so many aspects of my life, from my fertility journey and IVF treatment, which ended in neonatal loss, to unexpectedly falling pregnant naturally. Reiki has helped me to release trauma from areas of my body that I didn’t even know existed. RP Harborne

I would not have advanced with my objectives had I not found Vicky and her services and would highly recommend Vicky to any potential client. Vicky is sunshine in a person and to work with her is a privilege.

Vicky has a holistic approach to her work and will tailor collaboratively with you, an approach to your healing process and to help you reach your goals.

Vicky has been a source of encouragement and support throughout the most challenging times of my adult life. This has also been consistent through my progress and growth. Vicky is warm, approachable, friendly and has always been transparent and honest whilst having my best interests at heart. Vicky is empathetic, passionate about supporting others and wants to improve the quality of her clients lives.

Vicky uncovered a root cause to physical symptoms which medical professionals had struggled to diagnose and has helped and continues to help me manage these.

I initially started working with Reiki but this gradually became a multi faceted approach to trauma work which has included a range of techniques for somatic release, hypnotherapy to release deeply seated trauma, counselling, nervous system regulation and work around setting boundaries and having balance in life and work in order to understand and protect self from this in the future – helping me live in a way better suited to me rather than the unsustainable way in which I was living.

Vicky has helped me with personal growth around work, my wants and goals in life, my boundaries and most importantly self care and compassion. Vicky reminds me that we should all be able to thrive and find joy in life. She has assisted me through some difficult but much needed changes and I trust that this will continue. When we feel at our best we are able to live more fully and freely.

Every month I have massage therapy with Vicky to reduce and relieve tension, tightness and pain in my shoulders and neck and in particular. This also helps with my management of anxiety, stress and nervous system regulation.

Vicky’s massages are relaxing and soothing with just the right amount of pressure – I never want them to end! My monthly full body massage is an important aspect of my self care routine and they bring a sense of calm and balance and help my body to relax.

Vicky has supported me to release unprocessed trauma and understand the impact this was having on me, my life and my nervous system
