About me

Welcome, I’m Niki, a qualified and accredited counsellor, coach and hypnotherapist. I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space for therapy, either online or in person in Plymouth, Devon.

I am approachable, compassionate and easy to talk to, and I bring a wide range of skills, training and experience to support you if we decide to work together.

My approach integrates counselling, coaching, psychological education and guided imagery with relaxation techniques, helping you work through the issues that may be holding you back and supporting meaningful, lasting change.

I have many years of experience working in a local college setting, alongside private practice, where I work from a dedicated garden therapy room in Plymouth.

Together, we can explore, develop and gently challenge patterns at a pace that feels right for you, allowing for deeper self-understanding and emotional growth.

Get in touch on 07572 989543 via text or voicemail to arrange an initial free conversation.

Learn from your past, access deeper awareness, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity. Change is possible - and you don’t have to do it alone.
