I am credentialed in the UK with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I did my training in Person Centred, Gestalt and CBT. I also work as a dual therapist combining counselling with massage (in face to face sessions) and writing therapy.
I have experience in working with all adult ages and nationalities.
I am passionate about counselling and the journey of walking alongside my clients, as they travel through their own inner landscape, with a willingness to explore, understand and heal.
I will travel with you without judgement, sure in the knowledge that every client knows themselves the best and has the capability to discover and find their own truth. To be the best version of themselves.
I will give you the tools you need to understand, internalise and process your life experiences and relationships, in order to promote deeper connections with yourself, others and the world.
Self-awareness and responsibility, self-agency and accountability and above all empathy, kindness and vulnerability to self and others are the keys that open minds and hearts for better life and love experiences.

Nels is an excellent listener. She creates a safe space where I felt comfortable expressing myself openly. Nels helped me see my situation from a variety of angles, offering valuable insights I hadn't considered before. This broader perspective, combined with the coping mechanisms we developed together, helped me manage my anxiety and feel more empowered in my life.

Nels checks in with me and encourages me to message her for feedback. Greatly appreciated as it prompts me to do the reflection work and ask for support! The simple strategies she has shared have been super helpful in supporting me journal and reflect in the moment. Thanks Nels!

Nels is a great therapist, she lets you lead the session and only talk about what you want to talk about, she also gives a lot of valuable information. She is really different from other therapists. I am for the first time getting actual help.
