About me
Hello, I’m Nick. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. If you are browsing this directory, it is likely that you are seeking support. I have considerable experience in assisting individuals who are facing a range of issues, such as depression, loss and bereavement, anxiety, relationship difficulties, mental health challenges, and existential concerns.
While people often cope with daily issues, major events can overwhelm usual strategies. Counselling, or 'talking therapy,' provides support for anyone struggling with emotional pain, distress, or general dissatisfaction. It offers a safe, unbiased space to work through difficulties, encouraging healing and new coping methods. The goal is to help individuals manage current challenges and prepare for their unique future paths.
Training, qualifications & experience
Professional Background
I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). For the past 13 years, I have successfully operated a private practice located in central Wombourne, providing in-person therapeutic services to individuals, insurers, and organisations throughout the West Midlands and the Black Country. Alongside my private work, I have also served as the lead counsellor for a local end of life care (EOLC) charity for several years.
I am a recognised provider for several health insurance companies, including Aviva, AXA, BUPA, and Vitality Health. Additionally, I am an approved therapist for the counselling and supervision of students studying at Keele University and other higher education organisations.
I hold a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (QCF) and a BA Honours degree in Integrative Counselling. My commitment to professional development (CPD) is reflected in the numerous training courses I have completed within the field of counselling and psychotherapy.
Furthermore, I have experience in mentoring and coaching, as well as working as a team practitioner supporting emotional intelligence.
I possess an enhanced DBS certificate (Disclosure and Barring Service) and am a registered member of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), registration number ZA265867.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is Integrative, informed by training in several theoretical frameworks, including Humanistic, Cognitive, Existential, and Interpersonal psychotherapies. This broad training enables me to adapt my approach to suit the unique requirements of each individual.
Therapy and Supervision Options
I offer sessions in-person and online via Zoom or Teams, as well as by telephone, for both clients and supervisees who wish to access therapy or supervision remotely.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
