Laini Vickers

Hi I’m Laini. I am a counselling psychology doctorate trainee. Originally from Ireland, I have lived in London and abroad for many years. Before my career in psychology, I worked in client services and people management which deepened my interest in how people experience change and how environments can shape wellbeing. As a trainee psychologist, I have gained experience in both the NHS and private settings, supporting people through times of transition, uncertainty, and distress. I adhere to the BACP code of ethics.

I work in a pluralist way, meaning I will adapt to your needs. I will draw primarily on psychodynamic and person-centred theory and practice which facilitates exploration of your present-day experiences as well as the deeper patterns that may sit beneath them, while staying responsive to what feels most helpful for you. At the heart of my approach is our relationship — a warm and welcoming space for exploration and growth.
