About Pebble
Viki has a long-standing interest in early childhood development and the relationships that shape us.
Background
Before training as a therapist, she spent many years working with children and families within educational and nursery settings and it was during this time that her curiosity about behaviour, emotional expression and family dynamics deepened.
Both her professional training and personal experience inform the way she works. Viki takes a holistic, relationship-focused approach, believing that meaningful change happens when we look beyond behaviour alone and take time to understand a child within their wider relational, emotional and developmental world.
Play therapy
At the heart of her practice is play. With strong roots in early years work, Viki has always been drawn to the way children communicate through play and creative expression. For many children, words are not always available or enough, play offers a more natural, authentic language.
Alongside play therapy, Viki offers parent consultations, consultation and reflective practice for professionals, and support for schools. She is a recognised provider for local adoption teams through the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF), and works with a number of local authorities supporting children in Special Guardianship (SGO) and Looked After Children (LAC) arrangements.
Continuing education
Viki is currently studying under Dr Daniel Siegel, integrating Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) as a framework within her practice, deepening her focus on connection, regulation, and the ways relationships shape the developing brain across the lifespan.
Outside of her work, Viki enjoys spending time with her family and being outdoors.
These moments help her stay grounded and remind her of the importance of connection, presence and balance that sit at the heart of her therapeutic work.
