I work with people aged 16+ who feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, caught in patterns that keep repeating, or ready for something to change. Many are experiencing overthinking, low confidence or the impact of past experiences, and want to understand why things feel this way and how to move forward. Often people come to me feeling disconnected, unsure of their direction, or frustrated that despite their efforts things aren’t changing. Together, we explore what’s going on beneath the surface and begin shifting patterns, beliefs and emotional responses that may be holding you back, helping you move towards clarity, confidence and calm.

My own experience of therapy taught me that real change begins when we feel safe enough to open and trust. I know how hard that can be—especially after heartbreak, loss, or years of self-doubt. I work with clients who want to heal emotional wounds, reconnect with themselves, and build relationships that feel secure and alive. My approach blends counselling, mind–body awareness, and practical tools to help you feel grounded, confident, and more at peace within yourself.

You might feel weighed down by shame, guilt, or the sense that you’re never enough. Perhaps this shows up as anxiety, overthinking, exhaustion, or repeating painful relationship patterns. You may notice yourself stuck in cycles of burnout, intrusive thoughts, or emotional numbness, wondering why you can’t just “move on.” Deep down you may long for relief, self-trust, and the freedom to live more fully, but trying to explore this alone possibly feels overwhelming. Ideally, you'd want a space where you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

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.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.

What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.

How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.

Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
