You hold a lot. Maybe you:
• Seem fine but feel anxious or disconnected inside
• Sense you’re not living your full potential
• Are emotionally intelligent yet stuck in your head
• Carry the weight of being “the good one”
• Question your identity, relationships, or direction
• Want more joie de vie and life.
From the outside, things look good—but inside, it’s complicated. Maybe the self criticism is relentless, the anxiety subtle but persistent, or the spark you once had feels dim. You’ve been strong, capable, thoughtful… yet something feels out of alignment. Therapy is the place where you no longer have to hold it all together.

Welcome to your safe space for Healing and Self-Discovery.
Life has a way of bringing old wounds to the surface, often in ways we don’t recognise at first. The patterns we repeat in relationships, the emotions that feel overwhelming, and the deep need for control can all be traced back to experiences from our past.

I am a counsellor with a dedicated focus on ADHD and the unique challenges surrounding diagnosis and treatment. My work is informed by my personal experience as someone diagnosed as an adult with combined-type ADHD, which has profoundly enhanced my understanding and ability to connect with clients navigating similar paths. Clients contact me at various stages of their ADHD journey – from discovery, to the emotional impact of diagnosis, to the complexities of reframing one’s past, present, and future. I support clients through the often challenging and lengthy processes of assessment, treatment, and beyond.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you.

Hello my name is Nicola, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. In our busy lives it is often difficult to allocate time solely for ourselves, to gift to ourselves the opportunity to explore what may be hurting or limiting us.

It may not be visible but you are suffering inside, and you have taken the first courageous step, seeking a therapist. Life may seem OK and up to now you have managed but something inside is stirring, and its hard to carry on as you have been.

People come to therapy for lots of reasons, often motivated by a desire for something new; something better; sometimes uncertain how best to make and manage change; often powerfully resistant to it.

When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behaviour.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviours and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, alcohol and substance use medications, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behaviour takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behaviour can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviours that feel uncontrollable.
