Fee Cockings, Counsellor
Do you want to optimise your wellbeing, and discover newfound self compassion and inner resources?
What are your hopes for your future? - Lets create a path together towards them.
I specialise in using creative methods including mindfulness, visualisation, drama, mapping and writing - if you feel drawn towards any of these - you choose. Alternatively we can work with Ecotherapy - allowing yourself to be transformed by the healing potential of your relationship with nature.
I have over 20 years experience promoting wellbeing and recovery both within the health service and out in the community. I am also a BACP accredited member.
Training:
- Diploma in Counselling Principles and Practice 2001(Oxford Brookes University)
- Certificate in Counselling 1998 Abingdon College
- Certificate in Christian studies and Pastoral Care 1996 Westminster College, Oxford
I continually update my professional development. Particularly I have extensive training in Psychodrama. I am informed by the Solution Focused approach, which is a strength based model.
To nurture my own wellbeing I love to walk our spaniel Poppy, and am renewed by being creative through writing, art, and playing the ukulele. A passion for social change and justice is informed by my faith. I believe in being the change we wish to see, whilst having self-compassion over the scope of each individual’s influence.

Victoria Riddiford, Counsellor
My name is Victoria, and I am an accredited counsellor with many years’ experience of working with life's difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationships, bereavement and trauma. I have specialist experience in working with the ongoing impact of sexual abuse and rape. I offer in-person counselling, and I also work via Zoom and telephone. I offer a safe, confidential space to talk through issues that are troubling you, at your pace, so you can move forward with your life. We'll work together to establish a trusting relationship, where you feel listened to and understood.
Particularly if you are feeling very anxious, or perhaps recovering from trauma and have PTSD symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares and hypervigilance, the therapeutic relationship will gradually increase your ability to trust, and to feel safer in the world and in your body. You can find out more about the way I work on my website (see below).
I offer a free initial discussion over Zoom or telephone, so that you can tell me a little bit about what is troubling you, and we can decide if we are a good 'fit' before deciding to work together. I encourage you to get in touch, so that you can begin your journey towards recovery and wholeness.
