About me
Hello, my name is Nicola, although to most I’m known as Nicky.
I have been a person centred counsellor for over 10 years now and specialise in young adults and female counselling, although I also welcome male clients, couples and families.
I am a HR Manager and counsellor and passionate about both my roles.
I work at home and within the BACP standards and ethics.
Practice description
Counselling can sometimes be daunting, uncomfortable and hard work, but I feel I offer a comfortable, honest and wholesome environment for you to work within; and we can work together to achieve a wholesome outcome.
I work with several specialities ( grief, abuse, depression, anxiety, to name a few)
My first session
I would meet you free of charge for our first session to see if we feel we are ‘right 'for each other. Hopefully the answer is yes and thereafter we would meet weekly or fortnightly.

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.
