Vickie Schuldt , PACFA

Vickie Schuldt is a counsellor with eight years' professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She supports individuals coping with trauma, abuse and major life changes. Vickie also focuses on women's issues and workplace stressors so people can find more balance and wellbeing.

She has experience helping people who are navigating ADHD alongside other challenges. Vickie helps clients understand how attention differences can affect daily life, mood and relationships. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, with clear steps people can use between sessions.

Vickie listens for what matters most to each person. She works collaboratively to set goals and try small changes that can make a real difference. Sessions aim to rebuild routine, improve communication and reduce overwhelming thoughts and feelings.

Her background includes supporting people through separation, grief and major career or identity shifts. She also helps people work through loneliness, social anxiety and panic episodes by developing coping strategies and clearer thinking patterns.

People who come to Vickie often want straightforward guidance and a respectful space to make sense of difficult experiences. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and tailors the work to each person's needs and pace.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Vickie uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote sessions. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic attacks, helping people learn breathing, grounding and behavioural steps to reduce overwhelm. Another approach helps people reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, which can ease low mood and improve decision-making during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vickie will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as you progress. The process is collaborative so you help choose which techniques to try and when to change direction.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a variety of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a calmer check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
