Counsellor, Health & Wellbeing Coach, Supervisor
Supporting mental and physical self-care
for staff and patients within the NHS,
corporate organisations and for private clients.
Vicky Lush, Counsellor, Health Coach, Supervisor
With over 30 years working within the NHS and medical organisations, I have a real depth of knowledge of the challenges, complexity, pressures and expectations that face both staff and patients.
I work as a counsellor, coach and supervisor within an NHS Trust and also offer private sessions.
As a patient, perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed managing a health condition? Or, you want to build healthier self-care and wellbeing habits?
Maybe as a member of staff within a busy hospital or GP practise, you're looking for support with your mental or physical health?
Alongside counselling and wellbeing coaching, I also offer supervision to NHS Staff and counsellors.
Therapeutic Health & Wellbeing Coaching
I work alongside clients feeling challenged by health and life issues, especially when these issues start to have a negative impact on psychological and physical wellbeing.
I support clients wanting to make positive changes in current wellbeing and lifestyle habits and those wanting to reconnect with their meaning and purpose.
Through a combination of counselling and wellbeing coaching, the sessions offer a chance to make sense of life circumstances and review personal health and lifestyle choices and habits.
Therapeutic Health & Wellbeing Coaching Sessions Include:
- Work on improving self-awareness and understanding
- Help with mindset and mood regulation
- Building on strengths and key values
- Finding new coping skills and identifying those that already work
- Rebuilding resilience and purpose
- Improving communication and connection
I will help you to find your resourceful inner state - rediscovering your real self, finding what helps you thrive in life, what gives you pleasure, connection and purpose.
Mind & Body
Therapeutic Health & Wellbeing Coaching looks at your personal current situation and how you are managing. It takes account of the impact your condition may have on your mood too, as mind and body are so closely linked.
My counselling background supports work with depression, anxiety and stress. We may identify and work with past trauma or relational issues preventing change.
We will look at your needs and what choices you have. What’s stopping you changing? What are your strengths to build on and what matters to you in life?
If you were well, what would you be doing? Or perhaps the thought of being well again and the challenges this brings can be quite daunting?
Health is your greatest possession – do you value it?
Whether you’re managing a long term condition or wanting to prevent illness, I will work at your pace to develop understanding, find acceptance of what cannot be changed and seek opportunities where change is possible.
It's a matter of balance
Health is a matter of balance. It’s not about deprivation, diets, forced exercise and hardship. It’s about finding a balance to support your body as best you can, according to your personal circumstances.
Proactive Wellness
I will work alongside you as you choose personal steps to wellbeing in both body and mind. I will help you to create sustainable new habits for balance in life. Mindset is critical and together we will identify choices that you feel could improve your health and view of life.
About Me

Working alongside many wonderful and insightful patients within the NHS I have developed my Therapeutic Health & Wellbeing Coaching style of work.
It involves an empathic, supportive, and enabling approach, using both my counselling and coaching skills. I work holistically, looking at all parts of life that may impact on your health and wellbeing.
I offer a safe, calm, warm and confidential space for you to share and talk openly.

For the last 15 years, I have worked as a Counsellor and Health Coach both within GP practises and as Lead Renal Counsellor within a teaching hospital. I continue to work with both staff and patients within the NHS as well as private clients.
I specialise in working with adults with long term medical conditions, particularly kidney disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. I also work with low mood, anxiety, stress, trauma and grief.
