About me

I'm Nicola, an integrative counsellor based in County Durham, providing personalised telephone and online counselling. I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, as well as working with life-limiting illness, grief, loss and bereavement. Self-esteem and confidence may be a struggle, or perhaps simply navigating life is becoming challenging, together we can work at your pace, on what is most important to you.

Telephone and online counselling allows sessions to be adaptable to your life and my aim is to offer affordable support whilst being effective and convenient, allowing a safe space to work together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
