About me

I am licensed in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression. 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. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I studied Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy with The British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, which means i have various modalities to choose from.
I believe that our wellbeing comes when we have connection to all 4 parts which make up our Self (Mind - Body - Soul - Emotion) .
You have taken the biggest step, in our relationship think of me as the handrail: a constant support while you take each step towards your goals.
Together we can navigate this connection and help you find the light in dark.
I would be honoured to be with you on this journey.

Nic is a fantastic therapist and if I could recommend her specifically to all of my friends I would. She's amazing and has been really great in helping me navigate all of my trauma this past year and I know she will continue doing so for however long it takes me to process every thing I've been through. Thank you so much for all of your help and your support I honestly don't think I would be were I am today without you

Great at working out what I need on each session. Sometimes I can be pressed to open up more which is done with great support, sometimes I just need a good rant and that is calmly accepted also. Great experience with Nicola.

Nicola has such a kind heart. She’s really helped me this past year. Chatting to her feels like chatting to a close friend about all my problems, our chats don’t feel forced. She always makes me feel comfortable and safe.
Thank you Nic x

Im so happy I found Nicola for therapy at a time when I really needed help to get myself out of a dark phase of my life. Nicola is amazing. She provides unconditional positive regard, holds me accountable and challenges the negative views I have of myself. Nicola usually checks in with me throughout the week to see how I am and provides me with suitable work to do in between sessions. Nicola is the perfect therapist, she’s understanding, empathetic, non judgmental and caring. It always amazes me how she provides me with another perspective on situations that I hadn’t thought of. I feel really grateful she’s my therapist, thanks Nic! :)
