About me

Hello and thank you for viewing my page. My name is Nick and I work as an Integrative Counsellor. This means I draw on different approaches to suit your situation and requirement.

I run a service called You First Therapeutic Services (YFTS) and I started this to help individuals seeking support for their mental health.

Are you looking for someone who will listen to you with empathy and without judgement? As someone who has sought support in the past, I understand how difficult it can be to reach out and make contact with someone you do not know.  

My approach to helping you is to work along side you and what you are experiencing. My focus is on you and supporting you in a way that enables you to move out of discomfort, and move forward from stuckness and other thoughts/feelings caused by your present or past. 

Session lengths are for one (1) hour. We have initial contact via email or over the phone, and if we both wish to go ahead I will book in our first session.

If you would like to know more about how I work and how I can support you then please feel free to get in touch.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
