Anxiety is often overwhelming and consuming, it can come in many guises but frequently causes people to become isolated. People can experience physical symptoms caused by anxiety, overwhelming fears and intrusive thoughts which hinder the ability to think clearly.
Whether it is panic attacks, specific anxiety or generalised anxiety, talking about it and understanding how it affects you will help to reduce the effect it has on you.

It is often under diagnosed and hard to understand. Individuals may experience difficulties in maintaining relationships and have chaotic relationships, pervasive low mood and/or hopelessness, reckless behaviour, self-harm, an instability in their sense of self. People with personality disorder commonly encounter judgement and hostility from healthcare providers.
However, clients who attend talking therapy experience improvement in quality of life and stability.

Constantly arguing? Misunderstanding each other? Lack of intimacy or sex?
All of these are common within relationships, yet all of them benefit from talking therapy. Day to day pressures, financial concerns, children, life changes, illness are just a few things that impact on our relationships. All these things make it hard to fully understand why our partner may be responding in the way the are, or understand why things cannot be the way they used to.

Family Relationships
Family relationships are complex and can frequently fall into dysfunctional communication patterns. This often occurs through changes of role or varying needs of different family members. Families benefit from space to express these miscommunications in a calm and neutral setting. This allows difficulties to be heard and expressed in a different manner to usual.
Trauma/Abuse

Family Relationships
Many people experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Problematic behaviours or feelings may linger following a traumatic event or period in your life. Anxiety, fear, hopelessness, low mood and reduced quality of life could be something that you notice. I provide time and space to understand some of these difficult feelings and behaviours.

At times people experience feelings of shame, regret and bitterness. These can commonly result in reduced functioning and enjoyment of life, difficulties with relationships and work.

Miss L -July 2024
Nicole is really approachable and provided a safe space for me to be heard. Her non-judgemental approach helped me to open up and face difficult issues in my past. At times the sessions were challenging but Nicole's calm temperament and good humour ensured that I have been able to leave with positivity and hope. I was initially scared of attending therapy as, I thought it was, 'other people', Nicole's manner and style made me feel at ease.
Miss A - Nov 2019
Nicole's approach has helped me to see how my overwhelming feelings and thoughts follow a pattern. Now that I am aware of them I can cope with them. This was hard to talk about but Nicole supported me in talking about them.
Mr D - Sep 2023
Nicole has helped me to understand my anxiety and OCD, she does not judge and seems to be calm even when I am panicking. Talking with Nicole has helped me manage the things I was finding difficult with more confidence.
