I sought help for depression aged 20 but found the initial search overwhelming. How would I choose the right person for me? Fortunately, excellent therapists, and a psychotherapy group changed my life. I am now a qualified psychodrama psychotherapist working with individuals and groups. If you are stuck, unable to achieve your potential for whatever reason, I can help. Our relationship is at the core of your therapy so I offer a free 50 minute session to ease your decision-making. My work is humanistic and integrative, focusing on your feelings, body, mind and spirit. I can help you step into your power to change your life.

Life can be a struggle challenging and confusing. Sometimes it can be difficult to talk openly to the people in your life. As an experienced psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential space to explore whatever is on your mind. I can support you in finding your way through the difficulties you’re experiencing, or have experienced in the past, in a way that feels right for you, and at a pace that feels comfortable. We can work together to make sense of what you’re thinking, feeling and going through, allowing you to develop a sense of healing, establish goals and grow towards them, and gain a greater understanding of yourself.

Within the provision of a non judgemental, unconditionally accepting and culturally attuned environment, I hope clients experience the therapeutic space a safe one. I believe the client is the expert in their own life (even if they don't feel like they are). Part of my work is to help you make the best of your own experience and understanding, leading to change and growth and into new ways of being, thinking and feeling. My work as a pluralistic therapist is underpinned by modern developmental thinking from Neurobiology, Attachment and Trauma theory.

I have extensive experience with care-experienced and adopted children. Through play therapy, I offer a safe, child-centred, neuro-affirming space where children can express themselves, build regulation, and feel understood. I work collaboratively with parents and use a wide range of play and sensory materials to increase regulation and resilience.

I work with couples who care about each other but feel stuck in repeating patterns—arguments that go nowhere, growing distance, or a sense of being misunderstood. Many arrive having tried to resolve things on their own, yet find the same dynamics keep resurfacing. In our work together, we slow these moments down and look at what’s happening underneath—emotionally, relationally, and at the level of the nervous system. I actively guide conversations in real time, helping both partners stay present, understand each other more clearly, and begin to respond differently, so the relationship can move forward rather than remain stuck.

Hi, I'm Nicky It can be incredibly hard to try to figure it all out on your own. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or are exhausted from navigating this world, these feelings are often the result of a constant clash between your inner world and the world around you. My practice is inspired by the concept of a ‘Pensieve‘ – the kind of space where you can put the world on hold for a while and work through what is troubling you from a fresh perspective. Having a space to offload makes it easier to gain new insights and find ways forward that work for you.

How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
