Divorce Counselling in EC2N

Hello, my name is Nicole. I’m a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor working with individuals and groups within the NHS and privately. I recognise the importance of our need for connection and how we relate or what interrupts us relating with each other. I place importance on the client and therapist relationship which can work as a model for you to experiment with new ideas about relationships, explore the dynamics of your relationships and sustain mutually satisfying relationships with others, as essential to your health and well-being.

I can help if you're struggling in your relationship to yourself or those around you. This might include feeling repeatedly let down, rejected, abandoned; feeling depressed, anxious, ashamed as well as self-critical; lacking in intimacy and trust or even fearing others. I can also help if you have been affected by past trauma. You might struggle with food and eating, self-harming or experience unstable emotions as well as substance abuse. You might have difficulty asserting yourself or consistently finding yourself in vulnerable situations and problematic relationships and have difficulty establishing long-term relationships.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page. You are likely here because you are going through things that you need support with, and you might be considering if counselling can help, or if I am the right therapist for you. I have a warm and down to earth approach and as an integrative practitioner, I support people with various issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, bereavement, and those searching for meaning, to name a few. I will work collaboratively with you to understand your unique needs, and how you can be supported with your goals for therapy.

I’m a registered Creative Psychotherapist who works extensively with talking therapy. I have 23 years experience working with individuals, groups and young people. Some of the issues I help people with are Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, Addiction and Breavement. I offer my therapy service online and face to face at my practice in London Bridge, as well as walk & talk. My aim is to always offer you a confidential environment where you will feel respected, safe and not judged. I work with you as an individual working towards a more settled and fulfilling life. I see each person as a unique being and I work with people, not with problems.

I am a trained clinical psychologist and I have also received training in Systemic Psychotherapy (a branch of Humanistic Psychology), Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Criminology. I have over for 14 years’ experience in therapeutic provision for women and their families. My great passion is a Gender Theory, on which I have also trained. I adhere to the systemic psychotherapeutic model: I use active listening to develop an environment of mutual trust, a safe and serene space for client and practitioner that allows for both to progress in the therapeutic process.

Certain life events, transitions, or longstanding struggles can cause our usual ways of coping to break down, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and extremely distressed. To continue to function, drugs, alcohol, food, self harm, sex, social media, a depressive state or abusive behaviour can be used to numb the distress or stand in for what feels missing. But this often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, anger or blame – whether of oneself or others. It can feel like being trapped in a loop of unsatisfactory or harmful relationships, or like reaching a dead-end, with confusion about finding a meaningful path ahead.

We have all had a unique and perhaps upsetting experience of a global phenomenon. As you step out into your new normal, you may need some help to process your experiences and how to shape your future within this new landscape. I offer professional support through a variety of theories and techniques to deal with immediate feelings of stress as well as deeper exploration of how historical experiences may have affected your current responses and reactions. It is important that you feel in control of your own therapeutic journey and I therefore offer support at your individual pace and to support your hopes and aspirations.
