Many of the people I work with appear to be coping well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or stuck on the inside. They may be navigating relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, workplace stress, burnout, or questions about identity and purpose. We will create a safe, supportive space to understand what is happening beneath the surface, make sense of difficult emotions, and develop the confidence, resilience, and self-awareness needed to move forward in ways that feel right for them.

Are you going through a messy separation, divorce or an affair?
Do you feel like you're constantly having to adapt and please others, to feel ‘good enough’? Do you feel that if you were to show your honest and real self, you won’t be accepted or loved. This can be a lonely and desperate place to be, that will leave you feeling empty and exhausted all at once. Accepting who you are is an important inner journey that we will take together in our counselling sessions. I will support you in exploring many aspects of both you and your life so far, including your experiences, your family of origin, your personality type, your desires, your expectations, your passions and your fears.

Hi, my name is Nicholas. I am a fully qualified counsellor and counselling supervisor. As a counsellor I draw on a variety of approaches to make best use of the time and the space for you. I believe working with the person in the room is the key rather than working directly with the presenting issue. I have extensive experience of working with adults and young people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss. As an experienced counselling supervisor I can offer you the time to loosen knotted thinking, where you feel heard, held and supported and feel able to deal with demands of your role.

You're not looking for crisis management or surface-level coping strategies. You want to understand the deeper mechanisms at play and do the work to change them. You're ready for a therapist who takes you seriously & works at the level of depth you're seeking.

I offer a warm and safe environment whilst gently challenging and encouraging clients to visit the deepest parts of their lives.

Loss changes us. It can turn our world upside down, whether it comes through the death of a loved one, the loss of a cherished pet, the end of a relationship, loss of identity, or a major life change. Each of these losses carries its own weight, and no two experiences are ever the same. These experiences often bring a range of valid emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, exhaustion, overwhelm, feeling lost, or a sense of being disconnected from oneself. I specialise in supporting clients navigating this difficult times, and I draw from my extensive training, working at Macmillan Cancer Support, and my own personal experience.

Perhaps you feel that you have never been happy in the relationship that you are in? Perhaps you or your partner have had an affair or have issues with jealousy? Maybe you are considering splitting up or leaving? Being part of an extended family can present its own problems. Being a Step Parent or Step Child can be very problematic. Parenting issues can cause major rifts in families and sometimes an experienced third party can offer a solution.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
