I understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting process. By providing a safe space where you can learn to listen to yourself and be heard without judgment, I aim to help you understand how your past experiences might be shaping how you live, work, and relate to others in the present, allowing you more freedom to make positive changes in your life.

I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with training in EMDR. I have extensive experience and a genuine passion for helping people struggling with anxiety, depression or both. Working in several NHS Trusts, a specialist bereavement service and private practice, I have worked supportively with many people to identify and break down negative cycles so they can move forward positively in their lives. I often integrate approaches which sit well with CBT, such as Compassion Focused Therapy or ACT, to tailor a course of therapy which will offer the best individual support.

Exploring identity, relationships, or past trauma? Have you been searching for answers as to why things don't fit or flow? Perhaps you've become increasingly frustrated or distraught about difficulties you're facing moving through the world. Why is it so challenging to just be 'me'? You wonder why relationships and connections don't come as easily to you as they seem to for others. Maybe you have a fair understanding of why: the shadows of past (or present) traumas encroaching on every facet of your life. Have you been searching for meaning, a deep connection, self-understanding, or just an untangling of a complicated life journey?

Hi, my name is Nicola and I am an Integrative counsellor bringing different therapies to suit your individual needs. We will work together to untangle your difficult emotions, initially by talking so we can gain an understanding of what's going on for you now. I work with a mind and body approach to help you identify where trauma, stress and unresolved emotions may be trapped in the body and by recognising these feelings we can work together to release tension and negative emotions that go with it. I will be there to sit with you and support you however you show up. I believe that all emotions are welcome in the room.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to think about how we live and how we love. For many, the simple act of speaking with someone in a safe, non-judgmental space, where confidentiality allows for the expression of confused, unsettled or disturbing thoughts and feelings, sets the conditions for healing to take place. In our work together, we will explore your experiences and how you navigate life, problems, and relationships.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in my understanding of how life stressors, social and economic pressure, and trauma contribute to mental health difficulties. I adopt a systemic and intersectional approach, recognizing that individuals cannot be understood in isolation. By supporting individuals with their community in mind, I believe significant positive change can be achieved.

If you're reading this and are in a couple, chances are your relationship is in crisis. You and your partner have grown apart and you don't know how to reconnect and trust each other again. I can help you break the cycles keeping you disconnected. You'll feel closer to your partner, rediscover yourself, and build a future that honours both your needs. If you're a woman, chances are you've been systemically disempowered. You feel invisible, you’re exhausted, what you want is constantly out of reach. I can help you learn the mechanics of power, not for empowerment as a feeling – for power as a skill to get everything you want.

I work with individuals aged 16+ who may be coming to terms with the realisation that something in their life is not working for them, it's working against them. They want to come to terms with it and/or work on changing it. This could be a combination of issues. A past experience, identity issues, overwhelming emotions or relationship struggles to name a few. They want to live a life that aligns with them better, be present in their lives and gain resilience if life becomes difficult again. Therapy offers the possibility for this.

People often find counselling useful when they are struggling to make sense of difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences they are encountering. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space in which an individual can explore their life in their own personal way, as a means of finding deeper understanding; balance and to strengthen their resolve. Whilst being a counsellor I have experience working within the Ministry Of Justice for 19+ years delivering Therapeutic Groups for both men and women who have entered the Criminal Justice System.

Sometimes people come to counselling or therapy with a particular symptom, after a significant life event or with work-related difficulties. Other times it's more about not quite feeling fulfilled in life, career or relationships. I believe the many ways we come to understand and make sense of who we are, including how we relate to others and the world around us, are central to our mental health and physical wellbeing. Unforseen life events, separations, losses and disappointments can all profoundly affect our sense of who we are.

Do you feel trapped in a permanent cycle of surviving each day? You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from as if your body and mind have a life of their own. It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle.
