About me
Hello, I'm Nicky, I'm a Registered Counsellor, Health and Life Coach.
I have a relaxed approach that can help you to heal from past experiences and overcome anxiety, depression, stress so that you feel more confident, happier, and calmer. I also help you to manage long-term health conditions and disabilities so that you feel more in control of your life despite the challenges you may be facing.
My counselling technique is underpinned by the same person-centred principles, allowing you to talk freely and make decisions that work for you.
I might use metaphors, visualisations to help you express your emotions and experiences in a safe way that can also help you uncover your personal aspirations. However, how we work depends on your individual needs and focus.
Please feel free to call or email me to set up an initial session so you can get a sense of how I work before deciding to work with me.
I look forward to hearing 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.
