More about Nicola
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a registered member of the BACP in the UK, and have been working in counselling since 2020. Having trained as an integrative counsellor I am able to adapt my approach to a method that best suits each individual. I believe we are all unique, and one size does not fit all.
During my training I obtained a higher diploma in CBT, a foundation certificate in working with children and teens, and have undertaken additional training in bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, anxiety, anger and emotional regulation. Over the years I have worked with many children who have an ADHD or ASD diagnosis, as well as adults that have been newly diagnosed, helping them see the special qualities they have, their super powers, and how amazing they are.
I believe that you hold the answers to your difficulties, but sometimes they can be hard to see. I hope by us working together we can help you to discover these answers, find your strengths, which will enable you to make any changes that will assist you in overcoming your challenges.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
