I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy as I’ve seen how exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviour and making small, intentional changes can help people move beyond feeling stuck and create meaningful, lasting change.
You may be navigating painful life experiences or a specific mental health concern. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, or find that the past casts a shadow over your present. It’s not always clear how to get past this—but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can address this together and help you move forward.

Everyone is unique, so I offer a mix of techniques like Person-Centered, CBT, and more, depending on what works best for you.
I have worked in many different roles over the past decade, even before becoming a counsellor, in which I've helped people improve their mental health. I take pride in my ability to work with people from all walks of life. I have worked with people with complex mental health diagnoses, ex-offenders, drug addicts and sexual abuse survivors. I seek to help without any prejudice or bias. We all have moments in life when we need help, it doesn’t matter who we are, where we come from or what we’ve done. We’re all humans!

Throughout our lives most of us will experience some form of emotional, mental or relationship problems. These problems can be related to our work, our home life, our past or simply come out of the blue. Sometimes it might just be a mild inconvenience, but more often it can affect our lives profoundly. Either way it can be hard to admit that help might be needed. And harder still to find the best help. That’s where I come in. With psychotherapy or counselling I can help you discover what the issues are and work with you to fix them.

Living with neurodiversity like ADHD, Autism, learning differences, OCD etc. can bring both unique strengths and daily challenges. Anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles are common, leaving many individuals, couples, and families feeling stuck. I understand this deeply—not only through years of professional training but also from my own life in a neurodivergent family. In therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space to explore how neurodivergence shapes communication, intimacy, and family dynamics.

I offer a thoughtful, collaborative and trauma-informed space, drawing on CBT and integrative approaches, with particular experience in anxiety, low mood, OCD and neurodiversity.
You might find yourself overthinking, going over the same thoughts again and again, or struggling to switch your mind off. You may feel anxious, low, or stuck in patterns that are hard to break, even when part of you knows they don’t make sense. On the outside, things might look fine, but inside it can feel exhausting. You might feel caught in cycles of worry, doubt, or self-criticism, unsure how to move forward.

I am a CBT practitioner but also use EMDR and counselling.
It can be extremely daunting to start your journey in therapy and this is why I have a very professional and relaxed approach. After an assessment, we would be able to establish how we can work together and what that would entail. This is often the beginning of an amazing journey.

Hello and welcome! I'm Nicoletta, a qualified therapist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I offer in-person or online sessions if you prefer the comfort of your own space. My approach is based on the core principles of trauma-informed practice which means that I work within a non-hierarchical framework that offers safety, choices, collaboration, trustworthiness and transparency.

My ideal clients are adults and teenagers who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted, and whose nervous systems no longer settle easily. Many experience ongoing sleep difficulties, broken sleep, or a constant sense of being “on edge,” despite understanding what’s going on in their lives. They are often insight-rich and have tried multiple approaches, but still struggle to feel calm, rested, or regulated. They are looking for grounded, professional support to help their nervous system stabilise so rest and resilience can return.

My integrative approach combines CBT, mindfulness and The Decider Skills to help with anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation and relationship issues.
Many of my clients are adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in low self-esteem, or emotionally drained by relationship difficulties.
