Nicola Charrett BA (hons) MBACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist
About me
My name is Nicola, thank you for visiting my profile and a very warm welcome. Whatever you might be struggling with, be it in your personal or work life it can help to talk to an experienced counsellor. I am a professionally qualified (BA HONS), counsellor and psychotherapist near Winchester and I provide confidential counselling, psychotherapy, CBT and relationship counselling to adults and couples.
With over 13 years of experience working with clients, I understand how daunting it can be finding the right counsellor. Often we don't know what we are looking for especially if we are feeling distressed and unhappy. I can offer a safe and confidential space in which to explore, identify and work on a range of problems and situations that may be troubling you.
I would be delighted to offer you an initial 30 minute informal consultation free of charge and without obligation. This will give us the opportunity to meet either online or face to face and discuss what is troubling you and how I am able to help.
My practice is located near Winchester within easy reach of Eastleigh, Chandlers Ford and surrounding areas and there is parking available.
If you would like to discuss your requirements or find out more about counselling you are very welcome to call me in confidence on 07411512482 and leave me a message or alternatively you can email me at nikkicharrett@live.co.uk
