About me

Hello and welcome to my page.

My name is Nicola Furbisher; I am 52 and I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor supporting people who are struggling & in distress. I offer a warm welcome, an open heart & time & space to be with you, to be alongside you for as long or as short a period as you need.

Special notice: More than ever in these challenging times we need to find space to breathe and to express what we are feeling - and sometimes anxiety and fear can be utterly overwhelming.

Please don't be alone.

While my day to day full-session client work continues either face to face or online, I am also committed to supporting people who need a different kind of support to get them through these unprecedented times.

With this in mind, for the duration of the crisis I am offering regular half-hour evening support sessions via Skype or telephone at a cost of £20 per session to anyone who feels this might be of help. A chance for you to speak openly, to express what's going on for you, to be whatever and however you need to be. Contact me for more details.

In my day to day counselling, I work with clients suffering from the impact of trauma, grief, anxiety and depression; with those who have suffered mental, physical or sexual abuse, or are living with bereavement, and I also help people with low self-esteem, and those who are suffering from work or family-related problems.

I am integrative in my approach which means our work together can take many directions and will be specifically tailored to you.

I believe that a lot of pain we endure in our present life comes from things that happened to us when we were younger; and when our issues are about present day difficulties it can often be the case that our approach and resilience is affected by our lack of self-belief, self-worth and self-esteem.

Together we can gently explore what's going for you and perhaps challenge perceptions, behaviours and harmful beliefs. Be assured, this is your process and you are front and centre of it. I bring no agenda; no 'plan of action' - but together we can make important and lasting changes in your life.

I have worked with many clients who have suffered significant trauma in their lives and exploring body and mind responses and looking at coping strategies can be a large part of the work we do together in these circumstances.

What's most important, is that our relationship will be at the heart of how we work together to help you work through the issues you bring.

Warmest wishes, Nicola.
