Vicki Routh Counselling & Psychotherapy

What a lovely message, just received, to end 2025 with:

"Vicki was the first counsellor I truly felt comfortable with and not judged by, which meant more to me than I can put into words. I’ve tried many counsellors before, but I always struggled to open up. She created a safe, understanding, and supportive space where I felt heard and accepted. Her empathy made it easier for me to be honest and vulnerable, and I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she’s had on my journey. Thank you Vicki."

Attending this free webinar tomorrow morning - I attended a paid for training by the same providers last year I think and found it to be very helpful including the lived experience of Michelle Garnett who is late diagnosed AuDHD

Expert resources, events and courses for Autism from internationally recognised experts Professor Tony Attwood and Dr Michelle Garnett.

My latest reading material - I’m reading this after first loaning it to a female client who is wondering if they have ADHD

At a time when I'm fully booked and not able to take on any new clients, I'm sharing some information about the drama triangle as it is a helpful tool for self-reflection and understanding about the part that we and others play in keeping 'the drama' or conflict going in our relationships.

How can we use the drama and winner triangle method to better understand relationship dynamics?

The Drama Triangle or Karpman Triangle (keeps unhealthy drama playing out in our relationships): Rescuer, Victim, Persecutor vs The Winner’s / Winning Triangle (which sounds a bit glib but is a healthy model of relating): Supporter, Vulnerable, Assertive

A very interesting training, with a neurodiversity affirming approach at the heart of it. Many books, research and resources shared. Worth giving up a Saturday for!
