Hello, I’m Nick, I’m a pluralistic counsellor offering trauma informed, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent inclusive therapy. I work in a grounded, gentle and collaborative way, where the relationship between myself and my clients creates an empathic, exploratory space to focus on the issues that have brought them to counselling. As a pluralistic therapist, I draw on a range of different methods from the counselling world to help you explore your values, feelings and experiences, identify changes you would like to make, and support you as you work towards your goals. I work exclusively online or on the phone, with individual adults.
I welcome people of all genders and sexualities, however I have particular experience in working with trans, non binary and gender questioning people. I offer a supportive and informed space to explore gender identity, dysphoria, gender affirming care and the challenges facing the trans community.
I recognise how daunting it can be to reach out for help and I celebrate and welcome those who take that leap of faith. I offer a gentle, compassionate space where we can explore what matters to you, without judgement and at your own pace. Together we can build self knowledge, self care and resilience and help you live an authentic and meaningful life.
Take the first step to help. Nick Askew now
