About me
Thanks for coming onto my page. My name is Nicola, and I’m an integrated counsellor offering both online and face-to-face sessions in Glasgow and Stepps. I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly, feel truly heard, and begin to make sense of whatever you’re facing.
Before studying as a counsellor I worked as a senior nursing assistant in a care home. This experience gave me a deep understanding of how life’s challenges can affect both emotional and physical wellbeing, as well as the importance of feeling safe, respected, and cared for when you’re at your most vulnerable. It’s something I carry into my counselling work every day.
Alongside my professional training, I also bring personal insight into autism and the impact of cancer — experiences that have shaped my empathy, patience, and appreciation that everyone’s journey is unique. You will always be met with understanding, compassion, and acceptance at a pace that feels right for you. As an integrative counsellor, I tailor our work to suit you as an individual. Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of a space that’s just for you, we can work together to help you build clarity, resilience, and confidence in moving forward.

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.

I understand how it can feel awkward and uncomfortable when you reach out for counselling, (I have had my own counselling journey) but I have built excellent therapeutic relationships with my clients and have had great feedback from them. I am not here to judge or offer advice, simply to listen and gain an understanding of what’s going on and work together to get to a better place to allow the client to feel happier within their life.
