Hi there, my name is Nic. Having a previous careers in full-time dance and as a medical doctor, becoming a registered counsellor and psychotherapist is more than just a profession to me —it is my true calling. I will mentor you in self compassion while I help you to uncover what obstacles are standing in your way. Together, we’ll explore your core values and beliefs to see whether they still serve you, especially in light of any recent changes in your life. I’ll gently challenge you to reflect not only on your present circumstances, but also on your broader sense of life purpose.
While trained to see individuals with a wide variety of presenting issues, my specialities are:
Depression,
Bipolar Disorder,
Unresolved childhood trauma,
ADHD,
Self-medicating,
Chronic pain and
Unexplained medical issues.
I am an open, curious, and non-judgmental person. Together, we will uniquely tailor an approach we both agree on.
You've done the best you could with the limited resources available to you at the time. I firmly believe that change is always possible and non one is beyond help. If chosen to be your confidant, I consider it a privilege that I take seriously. I look forward to walking alongside you while you reach your greatest potential.
