About me
Hi, I'm Nicky, a counsellor who is passionate about supporting mums.
Do you feel anxious about having a baby or how your kids are doing at school? Are you feeling lonely and experiencing a sense of loss because your expectations of having a newborn are not matched by reality. This could be the loss of your sense of self or that bonding with your baby has been challenging. Or perhaps you’ve been experiencing problems with your relationships because loved ones can’t understand what you’re going through and you struggle to tell them how you’re feeling?
Counselling with me can:
· Enable you to feel less anxious about your children so you can be more emotionally connected to your family without worry.
· Help you to better understand your life with your newborn and who you are now so you can feel more confident in your role as a new mum.
· Help you to explore and understand the feelings you’re experiencing so you can explain to loved ones what you’re going through. They will then be in a better place to provide you with the support you need.

As a mum, I understand the unique challenges that mothers face, whether you're navigating pregnancy, adjusting to life with a newborn, or raising older children. Having experienced post-natal anxiety myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel when you're second-guessing everything during an already challenging time.
With over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector, I’ve supported mums through a range of issues, including anxiety, loss, and relationship and family concerns. This background helps me empathise with the challenges mums face at every stage of motherhood. Together, we can work on understanding your needs and finding ways for you to feel more equipped to face the journey of motherhood.
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.
