With over 23 years experience as a therapist, I work with a broad range of clients and issues, from teenagers to the retired, from confidence to historical bullying and pretty much everything in between. I believe that life experience plays a big role in my ability to help my clients and this is backed up by the responses that my clients give me. I love working with clients who are determined to change and who stay for the course, because I know that they are the ones who will see their lives improve.

We all have times when we feel life is not the way we would like it to be. Relationships, work, big life events like serious illness, losing a loved one, redundancy or retirement; or issues and events like climate change, politics or the general state of the world - all these can get us down, and sometimes make us feel we’ve lost our way. The voice inside us that tells us there’s hope and something to look forward to can become very faint; we may hear it but not know what it’s saying; we may stop hearing it altogether. My approach to counselling starts with a belief that you can get back in touch with that voice.

To put it simply, I strive to help people have a better life .
Hi, my name is Nicola. Perhaps you are looking for a counsellor because you have been feeling unable to cope. Maybe you are experiencing loss, anxiety, depression, or you're feeling stuck or in crisis. Perhaps you would simply like someone to talk to who will listen and not judge. It can feel hard to manage on your own, but you don't have to. Counselling can support you to explore any difficulties you are facing with someone you trust and with whom you feel safe. I offer a warm and confidential space where you can feel heard and never judged, where a smile will always meet you and where you can bring whatever is on your mind.

I work with my clients to enable them to face the anxieties of life head on and live more authentically whilst taking ownership of their lives, finding meaning in their lives and to live fully in the present.
I work as an integrative psychotherapist. The bulk of my training has been focussed on existential phenomenological approach. Existential therapy looks at the here and now, exploring the human condition as a whole and what it means for an individual. I am able to use different approaches based on the needs of the client including psychodynamic and humanistic

I love to explore my clients lives and perceptions of life to try and understand why they think, feel and behave in the ways they do.
I love working with people who are openminded and honest and looking to improve their lives and explore some of their blocks. I have a lot of experience working with depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction and low self esteem. If you aren't happy with yourself or your life , I would love to find out why and help you to explore ways of making positive changes. I have transformed my life in a positive way so I speak from experience when I say radical transformation is possible if you are open to it. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to talk about the things that are really important to you.

I combine counselling, to understand and overcome emotional barriers, with the strategies and tools of health coaching .
I specialise in eating disorders and have 17 years’ experience as a behaviour change and obesity prevention scientist at Cambridge University. I support people with binge eating, emotional eating, weight loss struggles, and bulimia. I help clients discover and take charge of their hidden eating triggers and transform their relationship with food. Sessions often focus on getting freedom from constant thoughts about food and weight and escaping the cycle of yo-yo dieting and weight gain. Gain understanding about what has prevented you from recovery in the past so you can overcome that, and live life without restriction or bingeing.

Jungian analysis can be incredibly healing for clients who have experienced traumatic events through childhood, adolescence or at any stage of life .
If things aren't going well at the moment and you feel alone then maybe I can help? I offer the opportunity to explore whatever may be causing you pain and anxiety in a safe and caring space. Some people come because they want short term help with a particular issue which may be causing them problems with getting on with the process of living. Other people come because they would like to work longer term with a complexity of issues sometimes originating from childhood. Whatever is worrying you book a free initial assessment and see if working with me helps make a difference. I offer discounts for refugees.

Can we all agree that life is beautiful, but also really messy and hard to navigate? And the problem with that is that most of us weren’t really taught how to deal with our feelings, the painful experiences we faced, and life ’s challenges. Instead, we’ve likely learned to tell ourselves that “other people have it worse”, that we’re being “dramatic” and “overly sensitive”, to “man up” and “be strong”, or that the issues we face aren’t big enough to warrant therapy. Well, I'm here to tell you that no matter how big or small your challenges are, there’s space for you here!

Life Coaching Counsellors

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
