Profile

My name is Nikki and I am available to listen to you in confidence and provide you with a safe space for you to talk about difficulties that are affecting you right now, so please don't suffer in silence - pick up the phone because how you feel is important. Would you benefit from talking to someone who cares about how you feel?   Would you like to have someone unbiased and non-judgemental to talk to in complete confidence? With someone who will encourage you to have and express your own feelings no matter how bad they may seem to you?   I am based in Worcester and work from several locations in the Worcester area.

I work from a humanistic perspective which means clients may if they choose, freely explore their whole life experience, past, present and future.

Are you in an unhealthy relationship? Is your partner controlling? Jealous? Does your partner humiliate you or does your partner repeatedly do things to upset you? Does your partner fail to accept any responsibility for their actions/behavior and always blame you? Do you want this relationship to change?

Are your children causing you problems? Is your teen uncontrollable? Are you finding it difficult to cope? Are your children dis-respectful and ungrateful? Would you like your relationships to be better?

Stress - Are you constantly worrying? Do you have anxious or racing thoughts? Finding it difficult to concentrate, irritable, short-tempered, feeling overwhelmed or have a sense of loneliness, isolation, depression or general unhappiness?

Depression - Do you feel unhappy most of the time? Lose interest in life and can't seem to enjoy anything? Find it difficult to cope with things like you used to? Feel utterly tired, restless and agitated? Do you find yourself avoiding other people or think of suicide? Depression effects most of us at some point in our lives and stops us moving forward so it can be helpful to explore your feelings and look at the reasons why this is happening to you now.

Bereavement - Have you lost someone close? Feel like you can't go on? Do you feel that no-one really understands what it is like for you? Losing someone close - is very sad and your feelings are important to you and at these times, we need to be able to explore all of our conflicting feelings and this can be your opportunity to talk about how this loss is affecting you.

Anger - are you angry and frustrated.   Do you find yourself exploding at others for minor incidents and then feel guilty? Would you benefit from exploring the reasons behind these outburts?

Betrayal - has someone betrayed your trust? Has someone you trusted completely let you down?

Guilt - do you feel guilty for not doing something or not done enough? or feeling overwhelmed by such guilty feelings of inadequacy or perhaps you're finding it so hard to forgive yourself. Come and take time to explore your guilt and understand why you feel the way you do.

Do you often wonder Will I Ever Be Good Enough? This is a very common and unnamed wound which is debilitating and stops us moving forward with confidence.

These are just some of the issues have I worked with and if you decide to come for counselling. I will provide you with a non-judgemental, supportive and understanding service in a safe and confidential environment.

Finding the right counsellor for you is very important because you need to feel comfortable. Therefore, my initial consultation is free giving you the opportunity to decide if I am the right person for you.

Sharing and exploring within ourselves enables us to find our capacity to move in the direction of a more fulfilling and satisfied way of being bringing confidence, joy and hopefulness back into our lives.
