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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
