Transforming challenges into opportunities: walking the path of therapy and counselling.
About Me
Who is Nicola?
I am a person-centred therapist with experience working with adults of any gender who have experienced trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, sexual assault, grief and loss. Trauma can leave deep emotional imprints, often resulting in shame, low self-esteem, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, anger, sadness, and isolation.
Alongside traditional person-centred therapy, I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems).
- EMDR can support you in processing traumatic memories in a safe and structured way, helping to reduce the emotional intensity connected to past events.
- IFS provides a compassionate approach to understanding the different “parts” of yourself, allowing you to heal internal conflicts and nurture a stronger, more grounded sense of Self.
Together, we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I will help you develop coping strategies, explore and transform negative thought patterns, and move toward the goals you set for yourself.
I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
- BACP Accredited Professional Psychotherapist
