I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and periods of change.
Perhaps you know exactly what has brought you to counselling, or perhaps you just know something doesn’t feel right. You don’t need to have it all worked out before coming to therapy. I’m Nicola, a relational and integrative counsellor. I’ll be curious about your experience, but I won’t assume I already understand it. I’ll take you seriously without assuming everything needs to be fixed. I’ll bring my therapeutic knowledge, curiosity and perspective, but you remain the expert on your own life. For me, counselling is something we do together.

Many people come to therapy feeling burdened by anxiety, self-criticism or emotional overwhelm.
I believe the relationship we build in therapy is central to meaningful change. I aim to offer a supportive, accepting space where you can feel heard and understood. We can approach things with curiosity and compassion, at a manageable pace. Over time, our work can support greater self-understanding, self-compassion and trust in your own inner resources.

When the Past Meets the Present...
Sometimes a decision made years ago starts to weigh heavily when life changes — especially if you’re now facing health concerns or questioning the choices you once thought were right. This can bring up regret, self-doubt, or a deep need to find peace with yourself.
I offer a safe, confidential space to explore these feelings, work through the “what-ifs,” and rediscover your sense of strength and self-compassion. You don’t have to face the future carrying the weight of the past alone. Viktor Frankl "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves".

I work in collaboration with my clients to find what they would like to bring into the therapy room and have a particular interest in personal identities and how my clients wish to be seen and accepted in the world. This includes identities around chronic illness and disability, as well as around gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I do not work as a blank mirror but instead use my knowledge and training to create a dialogue between me and my clients.

I have helped many people, both in private practice and the NHS, overcome problems including those related to anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationships, stress, low self-esteem, loss, life transitions, or medically unexplained symptoms.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy draws on the concepts of psychoanalysis to help you understand and resolve your problems by increasing awareness of how your past can influence relationships and experiences in the present. It differs from other therapies and counselling in aiming for deep seated change in personality and emotional development.

Finding a counsellor can feel like an absolute minefield. When you are already stressed, or feeling low, scrolling through pages of profiles can leave you feeling more overwhelmed than when you started. It’s difficult to know what you’re actually looking for, let alone whether the person on the other end is someone you can genuinely connect with.
Therapy with me is a down-to-earth, collaborative conversation. I offer a confidential space where you can be heard, and say the messy things out loud, paired with practical, tools to help you to understand what's going on underneath and how make actual changes.
