My name is Egita, and I'm a trauma-informed therapist working within a person-centred approach. I am drawn to working with adults who have experienced trauma and childhood sexual abuse. People who have survived sexual abuse may experience anger, fear, shame, guilt, thinking that it’s all my fault. You might feel “you do not matter” or feeling worthless. Experiencing anxiety, panic and flashbacks can make you feel stuck or unsure of yourself, finding it difficult to form trusting relationships with others. Having counselling, can help you understand what has happened to you, your thoughts, feelings you are going through right now.

I became a therapist because I am passionate about people and improving as well as enhancing mental wellbeing. I understand that life can be a challenge and at times it may be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I want to assure you that you do not have to go through life’s struggles by yourself. I am here for you and I am here with you. With your permission, I would like to come besides you and help you explore and discover events, thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour and together support you to make changes.

My name is Nicola and I’m an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist registered with BACP. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, panic attacks and specialise in trauma, rape and sexual abuse. While therapeutic techniques provide structure, I believe the most effective counselling comes from the relationship we build together, one founded on trust, understanding, and meaningful engagement. Through deep listening and thoughtful reflection, I help you explore your emotions, untangle complex thoughts, and reconnect with your inner strength.

My style is using EMDR, Trauma Focused Approach with Somatic Embodiment to evolve the historic past, and healthier functions of the human mind and body.
Sometimes it's about coping strategies and supporting my clients through a tough time or loss, want to change something about how they feel, think or behave, many look to free themselves of the past whilst some aren't sure exactly what they need, they simply feel the struggle to be happy in their life or relationships.You'll find I'm patient and calm by nature, have a compassionate and mature approach to helping, intuitively sense some things are really tough to talk about and whilst I will help you with ideas and tools to reduce symptoms and which can also speed up meaningful change between sessions, note: you will get to direct, manage your own destiny. I have always seen my role as guiding my client to see difficulties you stuck and with my help how to overcome them. My aim is always for my clients to be able to leave feeling confident in knowing their own well being long term.
