I am credentialed in the UK with over 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger management, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My ways of working are to create a safe, non judgmental and confidential space for you to explore whatever issues or concerns are holding you back.
I work in a way that is tailored to your need, whether that be a solution or goal focused therapy with a more directive approach, or a non directive talking therapy that facilitates space and calmness for you to explore your own thoughts and feelings, we will find the correct approach for you.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Nicola is honestly such an amazing soul. She makes me feel so comfortable and heard without any judgement which was one of my fears. Couldn’t be more grateful.

Nicola is very perceptive and capable of keeping all of the complex details of my situations organized in her mind. I highly recommend her.
