Experience Counselling
 

Dr T, former counselling co-ordinator - 'I know, without hesitation, that you are the person who will walk with those who are ready to take the journey to see these parts of themselves. The weak bits that run away in fear, the traumas that hunt down and devour peace, the anger that keeps happiness behind bars. You are the person who is brave enough to stand by your clients’ side and help them to forgive their weakness, strengthen their peace and reconcile their anger. You don’t just talk about making the world a better place, you actually go out and make a real difference.’

IT worker, 27 - '............. I didn't know how withdrawn I had become; unable to feel any emotion due to a complicated medical history that had been ongoing for the last 6+ years. Within the first couple of sessions we had already made amazing progress. First of all realizing what was going on inside my head and then making steps to recovery. Over the next few months my emotions had almost fully recovered, I have had some ups and downs but I have only ever needed to contact Nicola and she would book me in within the week. 
After attempting a lot of different styles of therapy over the years Nicola has been the only one that I feel has made any progress. 
If you would like a therapist who treats you like a human rather than a test subject, I could not recommend a better therapist.'

Operational Manager, 29 - I came across Nicola's profile when searching for someone to talk to about my anxiety. What drew me to contacting Nicola was due to the extensive experience detailed on her profile as well as the fact that her dog Pudding would also be present in the therapy sessions. Nicola is incredibly welcoming and instantly made me feel at ease. My experience was nothing but positive and I left each session feeling more clear about the direction I wanted the therapy to go. Nicola was able to provide me with tools to overcome a number of my anxieties and feel more positive in myself. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone wanting to start therapy.

Sales executive, 23 - A life changing and affirming experience. Highly recommend Nicola to anyone. Excellent therapeutic relationship developed over the weeks and although sad to say goodbye I no longer need the support. Job well done. Brilliant.
 

Professional musician, 23 - 'I feel lucky to have found Nicola, she is the perfect counsellor. She is so kind and makes me feel completely at ease. She has been, and continues to be, the person I know will be there to help me whatever emotional difficulty I’m faced with, without hesitation. The thing that really sets Nicola apart, for me, is just who she is. She is open, warm and genuinely cares about her clients. Her guidance and techniques have been completely invaluable to me and my development through the struggles of mental health’

Fundraiser, 27 -  'Working with Nicola was extremely easy. She is an accessible therapist who makes you feel comfortable sharing the things you are struggling with, and provides insightful and pertinent observations that provoke deeper reflection. After my time working with Nicola, I am feeling much more confident and happy in my life, something for which I am incredibly grateful.'

Mother of 12-year-old - Just wanted to say thank you for your support. **** seems much better in herself over her time with you and I will always be grateful. **** agrees that she doesn't need to see you again (which is great!) but I will be in touch if anything changes.

Solicitor, 38 - You are very easy to talk to and hugely insightful. You have helped me to put things into perspective. I'm in a much better head space than I was a week ago. 

Nurse practitioner, 41 - Thank you. It was a pleasure and an inspiration to have counselling from you. 

Graduate, 21  - Working one on one with Nicola gave me the confidence and support I needed to work through and explore the problems in my life that I had been afraid to confront by myself. She was incredibly supportive and understanding and made me feel at ease even through my first-session jitters. It has been a true gift to start feeling like myself again and I cannot recommend her enough.
