About me
Hello, my name is Nicola and I am a creative counsellor and psychotherapist. I am here for you to safely explore and manage issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bereavement, and mental health conditions such as ADHD, Bipolar, and other concerns. I use an integrative approach in talking therapy, although I can also offer creative mediums such as art, sound, dance, drama, and creative writing for expressing emotions. Creative therapies can be helpful if you find it difficult to put your thoughts and feelings into words. They may also help when addressing painful feelings, experiences, and trauma. However, it will be your choice of how you would like to work, and always in a warm, confidential space with empathy and no judgment.
Carrying a heavy load of emotional feelings and experiences can become so overwhelming that at times it may become even difficult to breathe. I would like to offer you the space to explore different channels to express your emotions for release. I can use body psychotherapy for connection, balance, and overall well-being. This may involve mind-body exercises such as breathwork, grounding, visualization, body sculpting, and felt sense focusing.
I appreciate it takes courage to reach out for support and I am open to any questions you have and will do all I can to put you at ease.
I have particular experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, mental health diagnoses, low self-esteem, and anger using insightful knowledge for change. I have a warm, comfortable, private practice in Accrington, available for face-to-face therapy or I can work online, by telephone, or walk and talk. Emotions and feelings change throughout life due to experiences, sometimes, becoming too overwhelming to manage alone.

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.
