About Nicole
I am an integrative psychotherapist working with adults and couples in Worcester city centre and online. I work relationally with people who are struggling with intense emotions, difficulties in relationships, and patterns of coping that feel hard to change. I also offer relationship counselling for partners who are experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, trust issues, or feeling disconnected from one another.
I have a background as a Registered Mental Health Nurse and over two decades of experience working in mental health services, alongside specialist training in psychotherapy and relationship counselling. This experience supports my work with complex emotional difficulties, trauma, and long-standing relational patterns.
I aim to offer a steady, non-judgemental space where we can take time to understand what is happening for you, either individually or as a couple, and consider what may help over time. The work is collaborative and paced, with attention to safety, trust, and your individual experience.
Testimonials
Miss L -July 2024
Nicole is really approachable and provided a safe space. Her non-judgemental approach helped me to open up and face difficult issues from my past. At times, the sessions were challenging, but Nicole’s calm temperament and good humour meant I was able to leave feeling positive and hopeful.
I was initially scared of attending therapy, as I thought it was for “other people”. Nicole’s manner and style quickly put me at ease.
Miss W - April 2025
I saw Nicole for 12 months while I was separating from my husband and going through the divorce. She really listened and helped me to understand my anger and sadness, which allowed me to feel stronger throughout the whole process.
Mr D - Sep 2023
Nicole has helped me to understand my anxiety and OCD. She does not judge and remains calm even when I am panicking. Talking with Nicole has helped me to manage the things I was finding difficult with more confidence.
