Here is a little about me

I am a very hard working counsellor, who is very passionate in helping people like yourselves get the right help that suits you as an individual. I have years of experience as a counsellor; however, my biggest teaching is life experience. This has given me a natural and authentic ability to be able to walk along side you on your journey. Helping you with a true understanding of what you are facing.

I have a DipHe in Humanistic Gestalt Counselling. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person centered, which simply means I can adapt to my way of working depending on what it is you are facing. I will use my resources to help you in the way that best suits you. Everyone is different with unique set of circumstances, so it’s imperative that you are seen and heard in this way.

I have a extremely warm presence, thus enabling you to feel comfortable, you will be able to feel relaxed and talk freely without any judgment.

I aim to make your experience of counselling something that you will look back on, feeling it was the best thing you that you did. Taking away any presumptions or preconceptions of what you may have once previously thought about counselling.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

The time I spent with Nichola allowed me to understand myself better, as well as how to cope with my traumas. And how this reflects on my everyday life. I cannot express how much partaking in therapy has changed me as a person, I would recommend it to everyone.

Anonymous client

Nichola always made me feel comfortable during my sessions, I never felt like I disagreed with anything that she said. She helped me to understand my anxiety and the reason I struggled with it as well as the ways to relieve it . After seeing Nichola I feel like I have grown so much as she has taught me to believe in myself and given me the tools to continue to achieve my goals. I would highly recommend Nichola to both my family and my friends

Parent S.R

I could not have asked for a better Counsellor to work with. I felt instantly at ease with Nichola and I actually looked forward to going to sessions after the initial first meeting. She has a unique way of helping you see and guide you through your issues. A really kindhearted authentic lady who really has helped change my mindset and ultimately my life for the better.

Client K.W

I had the pleasure of Nichola being my counsellor for over a year now. I was anxious, shy, and not living my life and I lost sight of myself. Nichola gave me the confidence to move forward, to recognise the situation, and my feelings. She has been kind and compassionate, understanding what I needed to process and to bring me through to a good place. Nichola was patience, and I would recommend her as a great counsellor, thank you you for getting me back on my feet, I have managed to keep working and believing in myself again a big thank you.
