More about Nicola

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I’m a qualified integrative counsellor registered with the BACP. I support clients to overcome emotional barriers which can have a negative impact on a person’s overall well-being and relationships. I view myself as an integrative counsellor, which means that I’ll blend theory, techniques and interventions from various schools of psychotherapy such as - Humanistic (Person Centred) - CBT - Psychodynamic - Solution Focused.

The integrative theory takes on the view that we are all unique and not one therapy will suit all. Therapy itself focuses on the therapeutic relationship and how it can heal emotional trauma. Therapy will be: - Tailored to meet your needs - Working at a pace that suits you and your lifestyle.

I’m transparent and easy to talk to. My role as your counsellor is to establish a space where we can build a trusting, open and genuine relationship. It’s my role to help provide you with the opportunity to express difficult and troubling feelings in a confidential environment.

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.
