About

Vicky McLeod, Integrative/Pluralistic Therapist at Meridian Wellbeing Counselling & Hypnotherapy

I began my career in learning and development, supporting people to grow their confidence, build new skills, and reach more of their potential. I worked with individuals at all stages of their personal and professional journeys, using a range of personal development tools and delivering courses and qualifications in both personal and work‑related subjects.

My background in Psychology and in facilitating personal growth naturally led me to expand my therapeutic training. I went on to qualify as a Counsellor, Analytical Hypnotherapist and practitioner in energy psychotherapies, including Thought Field Therapy. This combination allows me to integrate psychological insight with therapeutic techniques to support clients in a holistic and effective way.

Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of people, including:

Managers and leaders
Board and committee members
Social care professionals
Women returning to work
Individuals between jobs
People with physical disabilities
Those experiencing stress, anxiety, loss, or bereavement

These experiences have shaped my integrative approach and deepened my understanding of the many emotional, practical, and psychological challenges people face. Today, I bring all of this together in my therapy work, offering a compassionate, grounded, and personalised space for clients to explore their needs and move toward meaningful change.
