Asking for help is not always easy, especially when you’re struggling with something that’s very close to you. I understand how daunting that first step of reaching out and contacting a therapist can be, which is why I always strive to provide a safe, friendly and non-judgemental space for therapy sessions. I am committed to working alongside you and through mutual discussions providing you with the strategies and tools that are the best fit for you. I have a special interest in transgenerational influences which can present as childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety and personality disorders.

Hello I'm Nicole, a humanistic integrative psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor with many years experience of working with individuaIs, organisations and groups. Twelve years ago I set up Peel Psychological Consultancy, a private counselling service and training centre in the hope that I'd be able to create a space in which the client felt, respected, accepted, supported and understood. It is my belief that relational trauma lies at the heart of most psychological distress therefore, whilst I adhere to theory and research, it is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist that I find most important and effective.

It has been a crazy time, hasn't it? During all this I have found so many people have questioned work, relationships, struggled with being alone or being stuck feeling like they are losing their independence and autonomy, invoking anxiety or depression and having too much time to THINK often look to the past and get ourselves caught up in the injustice or any childhood trauma that has been neatly tucked away for so long.

I wonder if you’ve ever felt hampered by your own insecurities and dragged low by that same lack of self-belief. Join the club!! Most of us lose our way and struggle to get back on the right path from time to time. But if this feels like a constant pattern then perhaps it’s time to take advantage of some clinically proven ways to fulfil your potential. My approach might be particularly helpful if you wish to: try a dynamic approach focusing on specific goals within a defined time period; ; attune yourself to how past difficulties have become embedded in your body; find practical strategies to change and modify these reactions.
