About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or panic attacks? Perhaps you're struggling with grief, low self-esteem, or simply feeling lost. It's okay to seek help, and I'm here to support you on your journey to well-being.
My name is Nic, and I am a highly qualified integrative therapist with several years of experience in helping clients navigate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. With a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy and a background in both NHS and private practice, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals in achieving mental well-being.
I specialise in working with clients facing anxiety, depression, stress management, and trauma. I understand how daunting it can be to take that first step, especially if you’re seeking therapy for the first time. That’s why I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace.
If you’re reading this and feel a connection, I encourage you to take the next brave step. Contact me to arrange your free introductory call, where we can discuss your current situation and how I can best assist you. Together, we can navigate the path to your mental well-being.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach to therapy is client-centred and integrative, utilising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I bring several years of experience from both the NHS and private health sectors, providing me with a solid foundation in addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. My academic background includes a Degree in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy, and Postgraduate Diplomas in Counselling and Behavioural Therapy.
I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Society for Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (SfDBT). I adhere to the highest ethical standards set by these organisations to ensure quality care.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
Taking the first step towards counselling is a courageous decision, and I'm here to support you throughout the process.
To ensure we are a good fit, I offer an introductory call where we can discuss your current situation, explore your needs, and determine the best path forward. My fees are transparent, and I am happy to discuss them in detail during our initial call. If you decide to move forward, we will typically work together in weekly sessions, focusing on your specific concerns and setting goals for your therapy. Regular evaluations of your progress will help us adjust our approach as needed, ensuring that you’re moving towards your mental health goals.
