About Virginia
HCPC registered counselling psychologist in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. Virginia Fick focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. She uses client-centred methods alongside trauma-focused work and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage emotions and repair connections.
Virginia works in straightforward, person-focused ways. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and grounded, with time spent talking through experiences, clarifying what matters, and practising skills that can be used day to day.
Her background includes postgraduate study in the United States - an MA in Counselling (Clinical Mental Health) and an MS in Psychology - followed by clinical roles across non-profit, private practice, and community mental health settings. She moved to the UK and began working in the NHS in 2022.
In sessions she draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s priorities, trauma-focused approaches to address past harm, and DBT-informed techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Conversations may cover attachment, communication patterns, sexuality, and recovery from post-traumatic stress.
Virginia uses the HCPC credential as her professional registration in the UK. Sessions are available in English. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule an initial appointment through the online options button.

How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most. The therapist encourages people to set the pace and priorities, and uses reflective conversation to help clarify goals and choices.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing past harm in a stepwise way. It involves careful discussion of traumatic experiences, grounding strategies, and practical methods to reduce the impact of distressing memories on daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving communication. DBT-informed techniques can be used to manage intense feelings and to practise clearer interactions with others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences with the client and agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps decide which methods to emphasise as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt pacing and tools to suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
