Psychotherapy and Couples counselling Psychotherapy and Couples counselling Psychotherapy and Couples counselling

I offer counselling and psychotherapy specialising in relationship difficulties, complex trauma, intense emotions and self harm. I support clients experiencing unstable chaotic emotions due to relationships with  family, friend or partners - this can be linked to trauma or low self worth. 


  • Are you always choosing the same type of person, to be in a friendship or relationship with ? Do you frequently find yourself feeling intense emotions, out of control or overwhelmed? 
  • Are you managing your emotional rollercoaster by emotional eating, self harm, over thinking, destructive thoughts or behaviours?
  • Do you feel anxious, lonely, chaotic ? 


You may feel anxious, low in mood, isolating yourself, struggle with self image or your place in the world and grappling to understand why you feel the way you are, I may be able to help. 


treatment Approach

I believe that our history influences how we act and feel in the present. We are drawn to familiar patterns, people and  behaviours, even if these are problematic.  My approach is to explore how your history might be affecting you now. 


I draw on a number of different theoretical methods and work in an integrative way, this allows my approach to be flexible and adjust to your needs.  I am influenced by psychodyamic theory, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and systems theory in my practice. 

I  use a number of techniques and  skills to help you improve wellbeing and coping, which may include focussed skills to help reduce distress and  increase coping. This can then create the opportunity to explore deeper routed difficulties. 


Typically we will begin with a number of introductory sessions to help us get to know each other. Starting therapy is a scary process, it takes some time to become used to the process. 

 After a few sessions we will explore a joint understanding of your difficulties and develop a plan moving forward.


My focus is you; assisting you to explore how you are feeling and coping. 


I am passionate about my work and the challenge that it presents personally, this drives me to be the best practitioner I can be. I aim to be honest and transparent in my approach. 


Sessions can be filled with tears and laughter, clarity and confusion, they can feel confronting and challenging. I hope to sit beside you in your journey in understanding and overcoming your difficulties.

Testamonials

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 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 W - April 2025

I saw Nicole for 12 months  whilst I was separating from my husband and then going through the divorce  she really listened and helped me to understand my anger and sadness, which allowed me to feel stronger through the whole thing. 

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.
