About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or panic attacks? Are you struggling with grief or simply feeling lost? It's okay to seek help, and I'm here to support you on your journey to wellness.
My name is Nic, and I am a highly qualified integrative therapist with extensive experience in helping clients work through their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. With a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals in achieving mental well-being.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of assisting many clients who often find themselves seeking therapy for the first time, sometimes encouraged by a loved one. I understand how daunting it can be to take that first step, and I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences.
If you are reading this and feel a spark of recognition or a glimmer of hope, I encourage you to take the next brave step. Contact me to arrange your free introductory call. Together, we can navigate the path to your mental well-being.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach to therapy is pluralistic and integrated, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including person-centred therapy (PCT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). This means that I tailor our sessions to your unique needs, helping you identify and change unhelpful patterns of emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.
My professional experience includes working in both the NHS and private health sectors. This diverse background equips me with a broad understanding of various mental health issues and effective treatment strategies.
I hold a Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy, along with 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). As a member, I adhere to the ethical practices of each organization.
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 can be challenging, but it's also a courageous move towards better mental health.
Before our first session, we will have an introductory call. This call is a chance for us to discuss your current situation, what is troubling you, and how I can best assist you. This allows you to experience my approach and determine if it feels right for you.
Following this initial conversation, I typically recommend contracting to work together for several weekly sessions. During these sessions, we will work collaboratively to address your concerns and set goals for your therapy. Regular evaluations of your progress will help us chart the best way forward.
