More about Nicola

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hi, I’m Nicky! I’m a highly skilled, compassionate person focused counsellor who can support you to overcome your personal difficulties. I have gained over 13 years experience working with clients of all ages experiencing various mental health difficulties. Due to my friendly, empathic personality, it will provide you with the opportunity to feel relaxed and be open with me about your issues; this can feel less of a burden on yourself. We will work together to focus on your internal confusion/struggles helping you to learn to tolerate distress and regulate emotions.

I am an integrative therapist and I mainly draw from the principles of Person-Centred Counselling, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotion Focused Theory. I tailor my approach to each individual's needs.

My practice promotes well-being, recovery, personal growth and self-discovery.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
