Life can be hard, there's no escaping that, but taking that initial step to contact a counsellor may be the life-changing encounter you've been needing.
I trained for five years to become a qualified Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. Counselling is not ‘one size fits all’ and sometimes a mix of approaches is necessary to get to the heart of the issue at hand. My blend of calm and friendly therapy has helped so many people to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I genuinely love what I do!

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.

Hi. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, stuck — or like you’ve lost yourself in patterns of putting everyone else first? You might look fine on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted, tangled, and carrying too much alone. I’m an experienced counsellor with 15 years’ practice. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can slow things down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and understand what your emotions are trying to tell you — because feelings don’t just happen to us; they shape how we cope, choose, and relate.

I offer relational, pluralistic therapy shaped by over forty years supporting people through trauma, life transitions, and emotional difficulty.
Therapy is always a collaborative process. I work relationally and pluralistically, meaning we build a trusting relationship and work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic. I support clients to explore their experiences safely, develop greater self-understanding, and build confidence in managing emotions and relationships. My role is to listen carefully, adapt to each person’s needs, and offer a steady, compassionate space where change can happen gradually. Progress often begins with feeling understood and continues through developing new insight, resilience, and self-acceptance.

Having since, committing my life to the improvement of people’s emotional fitness and mental resilience, with support from organisations such as SANE and MIND, my own journey has allowed me to discover the true benefits of therapy first-hand.
Personal therapy can be of help for a broad range of individual and/or social problems. Many people find it helpful when faced with difficult stages in their normal life cycle such as career changes, loss and bereavement or crisis points in relationships. Others look to therapy to help alleviate distress from the pressures of living everyday life situations.

Life can be challenging at times, and it’s my role to help ease some of that pressure.
Your time with me is dedicated to you. It’s an opportunity for you to share whatever is on your heart and mind, whether it’s emotional pain, confusion, or unresolved issues. Together, we will explore how the mind and body show signs of distress such as indecision, confusion, unresolved issues, feeling overwhelmed by toxic relationships or unhealthy dynamics. By exploring these feelings and patterns, we can develop a better understanding of ourselves and how to respond more effectively in the future.

My role is to walk alongside you as things begin to make sense—where anxiety, grief, or feeling stuck are not problems to eliminate, but signals worth listening to. When that happens, something shifts. Not because it’s forced, but because it’s allowed.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
