About Vickie
PACFA. 8 years of professional experience. Vickie Schuldt helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also supports people living with ADHD who are coping with the practical and emotional effects of a diagnosis.
Vickie uses everyday conversation and focused interventions to address communication problems and rebuilding trust. She talks through patterns that fuel panic attacks and social anxiety. Her approach emphasises clear steps people can try between sessions to manage mood and reduce overwhelm.
When relationship issues come up Vickie works with partners to improve communication and emotional connection, including situations where one or both people have ADHD. She attends to practical habits and misunderstandings as well as the emotional fallout of separation or divorce.
She also helps people feeling isolated, questioning life purpose, or facing a midlife crisis. Sessions look at coping strategies for workplace stress and practical ways to reduce everyday anxiety. Vickie describes her work as solution-focused and person-centred, with attention to measurable change.
Vickie trained and practises in Australia and communicates in English. Her background includes eight years of clinical work supporting people through mood disorders, trauma recovery and relationship strain. People can expect direct, clear discussion about goals and progress.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can fit
Vickie uses evidence-based techniques to guide practical change. One approach focuses on communication skills and behavioural adjustments to reduce conflict and rebuild trust in relationships. This involves identifying unhelpful interaction patterns and practising clearer ways of talking and setting boundaries.Another approach targets anxiety and panic symptoms through short-term strategies and gradual exposure to feared situations. This includes breathing and grounding exercises, pacing activities, and stepwise behavioural tasks to reduce avoidance and improve confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vickie discusses goals and preferences with each person and jointly decides which techniques to try. She checks progress and adjusts methods as needed so the approach stays relevant to the person's everyday life.
Practical benefits of online counselling depend on the session options available. Because formats are not specified here, confirm current session choices before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists and appropriately qualified professionals can adapt exercises so they work well in virtual sessions and support people to apply strategies between meetings.
