About me
Struggling with anxiety, stress or relationships? I'm an experienced psychotherapist with a down to earth approach who gets it. I take a compassionate mind-body approach to help you feel calmer, clearer and more connected to yourself and others. I work with individuals and couples.
I’m Nichola, a BACP-registered psychotherapist with extensive training and experience in helping people navigate anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship challenges.
You might be here because:
* You feel stressed, burnt out, or like life is just too much
* You’re caught in repetitive patterns you don’t know how to break
* You’re arguing more with your partner or feeling disconnected
* Parenting feels overwhelming and depleting
* You’re struggling with anger, irritability, or just feeling off
If any of this sounds familiar, therapy can help - and starting with someone you feel at ease with can make all the difference.
I offer a safe, down-to-earth space where you can be yourself - without jargon, judgment, or pressure. My clients often say they appreciate how approachable and ‘real’ I am. I make therapeutic ideas easy to understand and bring warmth and clarity to what can often feel like a tangled mess inside.
I particularly specialise in working with anxiety - and. If you’re struggling with anxiety, you’re not alone and you’re not imagining it. Anxiety can be relentless. It hijacks your thoughts, unsettles your body, and leaves you feeling overwhelmed or stuck in emotional loops that don’t seem to match the situation you’re in. It’s exhausting and often isolating. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
I take a compassionate, mind-body approach. That means we won’t just talk about what’s going on in your head - we’ll also pay attention to how it shows up in your body and how to work with it. Together, we’ll explore patterns, deepen your self-awareness, and help you feel more connected and grounded.
I believe therapy isn’t just for crisis moments or trauma. It’s for anyone who wants to live a more connected, meaningful life. It’s about understanding yourself, relating differently to your thoughts and feelings, and building healthier relationships - with yourself and with others.
If you're ready to make changes or even just curious about what working together could look like, I’d love to hear from you.

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.
