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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
