Vicky Mould

Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Vicky Mould, and I'm the founder and owner of Azalea Counselling. If you're considering counselling for the first time, it's important you find a therapist that feels right for you. I hope the information provided here (and on my website) helps you in that journey. 

I offer individual counselling for adults of all ages, and work comfortably on a long or short-term basis. I now practise exclusively online and over the telephone, with online sessions via Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp. 

As an experienced bereavement counsellor and mental health therapist, I can offer caring, compassionate and non-judgmental counselling for life challenges such as loss and grief - including baby loss, sexual or domestic abuse, stress, relationship issues, low self-confidence and self-esteem, loneliness, depression, postnatal depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Counselling can be a courageous step in all these experiences, yet I believe in mental health and trauma recovery and the unique potential you have within you. We can work at your pace to find your sense of coping, healing or wellbeing. 

Practising person-centred therapy, I will work to help you feel part of a genuinely safe and supportive relationship, and you will be valued, accepted, heard and understood.

Sometimes, it's hard to express yourself through words alone or move forward from struggles or concerns despite talking them through. For this reason, I offer the option of creative counselling, such as using art mediums alongside talking therapy, and you don't need experience or skills in art for this. We can discuss creative counselling at the consultation or in our initial sessions. 

Counselling with me can offer relief, insight, hope and increased confidence and trust in yourself. My goal in our counselling is to empower you to make the life choices or changes you want to make.

If you'd like to book an online or phone consultation or ask questions before taking that step, please email me or call or text my practice mobile 07729 193629. 

There is lots of information on my website - do take a look, as it will give you more of a sense of me and how I can work with you.

I have been a counsellor in Eastleigh and Southampton since 2011. I now practise telephone and online counselling across Eastleigh, Winchester, Southampton and Fareham or further afield if you live in the UK. 

I take a trauma-informed approach to my work, including offering the opportunity to express yourself through art or other creative mediums. I access trauma training regularly as part of my continuing professional development.

I have been a bereavement professional since 2008 - initially as a trained volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Care, and now as a bereavement counsellor in private practice. I hold further training in child and baby loss, including the sensitive issues surrounding miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss and sudden infant loss.

I have a longstanding interest in adult mental health. Over the years, I have worked successfully with people experiencing the effects of depression (including postnatal depression), anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder. In the past, I have been a Support Time Recovery Worker for Together for Mental Wellbeing and a Support Worker on an NHS psychiatric ward. I have also volunteered for mental health charities such as Rethink Mental Illness and Solent Mind.

I have personal insight into domestic abuse, and many years ago, I was a Helpline Volunteer for Women's Aid. In my counselling practice, I offer support to anyone who is impacted by or concerned about domestic abuse - irrespective of their gender, ethnicity or background.

As I now practise telephone and online counselling, you can access sessions from the comfort of your own home or other private space. Depending on your preference or needs, sessions can be over the phone or via a secure platform such as Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp. With online counselling, video or real-time messaging sessions are available.
