I am qualified in a number of therapeutic approaches including counselling, cognitive Behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness so, unlike many therapists, I can offer you an approach that can compliment your wishes and expectations.
There are moments when life feels tough — when stress, worry, or sudden changes leave us feeling unsettled or unsure. You might be navigating something you never expected or finding yourself in a place you didn’t choose.
Even so, I believe people carry great strength and resilience, which might feel drained right now. It’s completely okay to feel like you’ve run out of steam.
My role is to walk alongside you as we gently make sense of what’s been happening and reconnect with the strengths you already have. With the right support, small, meaningful shifts can spark BIG changes — helping you reach your goals and full potential.

Clients are met with warmth, acceptance and positivity, and their challenges are listened to and properly understood.
I'm an integrative counsellor, which means I tailor my approach according to my client’s individual needs. I acknowledge that early experiences can shape the way people relate to themselves and others in adulthood. The relationship between counsellor and client offers the opportunity to explore these dynamics and provides a vehicle for growth and change.

Do you often feel worn out from always putting others first? You may struggle with people-pleasing, feeling overly responsible for others’ feelings or needs, or staying in relationships that leave you drained and off-balance. You might find it hard to say no, set boundaries, or assert your needs, and feel guilty when you finally do. Over time, this can become a pattern that feels impossible to break, keeping you stuck in fear of confrontation, rejection, or disappointing those around you. You want to feel confident in yourself, express your needs without guilt, and build fulfilling, balanced relationships.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and find it particularly effective with clients who are anxious, have low self esteem and experiencing grief/loss.
Have you been thinking about counselling for some time? Maybe you’ve been putting it off, because you hope that things will get better, or that your problems aren’t important enough to seek help. Taking that first step can be really difficult. Finding the right therapist can be even harder. You might feel anxious, confused and intimidated by the choice. I understand the overwhelm and invite you to take that first step with me.
If you have racing thoughts, worry excessively, or often feel “not good enough”, you are probably looking for support and coping strategies to help you live a more meaningful life.

Hi, I’m Nicki. I’m an integrative psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. I work with a range of approaches to suit your needs and preferences.
Life can feel overwhelming at times—stress, trauma, or unresolved feelings can show up as anxiety, low mood, overthinking, issues seeming bigger than they are, sleep problems, or relationship challenges.

In therapy, we can explore these experiences together. I’ll help you understand yourself and patterns, manage emotional overwhelm, and find more balance and calm.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing upon my training and experience in Personal Construct Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches.
I provide a supportive environment in which we can explore together the difficulties that you're experiencing without any judgement. Life can be tough, and change can be hard. We often get fused to unwanted thoughts, beliefs, and struggle with them. We can often feel despair and a sense of hopelessness. I help people realise that unwanted thoughts, feelings, and circumstances can, and do, change, and help people make positive differences in their life.

This can place strain on our day to day lives and affect our relationships with others. If this is pattern you recognise - maybe I can help?

Life can be challenging. It can be difficult opening up to someone about the worst that's happened to us, about the parts of ourselves we struggle with. For some dealing with trauma can impact how we treat others, having negative impacts on relationships & life. I’ve worked for over 25 years with those who’ve experienced complex trauma: who’ve lived/worked in conflict zones; been abused by family; struggle to emotionally regulate; have been abusive & with relationship breakdown. As a couple it’s important to feel the therapist you choose is able to work with you around your relationship.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
