Vicki Peile
Senior Lecturer

Like many people, Vicki experienced periods of anxiety and low mood as a young adult. While looking for support herself, she discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. The positive changes she experienced were life-changing, giving her greater confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing. Inspired by the difference it made in her own life; she decided to train as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist so she could help others experience the same transformation.

Before becoming a therapist, Vicki built a career in bereavement care, supporting hundreds of families through one of the most difficult times in their lives. Working with both adults and children, she helped people navigate grief, understand their emotions, regain a sense of control and develop healthy coping strategies. Although grief remains a specialist area of interest, this experience also strengthened her passion for helping people overcome a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and low self-esteem.

Vicki trained at CPHT Brighton, qualifying as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist in 2022. She now runs a busy practice in Heathfield, East Sussex, offering both in person and online sessions for adults, children and young people. She is also proud to be part of The Youth Fairy team, a specialist network of Solution Focused Hypnotherapists dedicated to supporting children and teenagers with anxiety, stress, anger, low confidence and other emotional challenges.

Committed to providing the highest standard of care, Vicki continues to expand her knowledge through regular professional development. Since qualifying, she has become a qualified Supervisor and is currently working towards the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma. She also delivers the CPHT Supporting Clients with Grief CPD, helping qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapists develop the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to support clients experiencing grief and loss, whether they work with adults or children.

Vicki is passionate about helping people recognise that they are far more capable than they often believe. By combining Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with warmth, compassion and practical brain-based techniques, she helps her clients reduce anxiety, build resilience and create lasting, positive change so they can move forward with confidence and enjoy life to the fullest.
