About me

Hi I'm Nicola and I understand how daunting it can be taking the first step into therapy. I am gentle in my approach and believe in working alongside you in a way that feels organic. 

I am a qualified and accredited CBT Therapist, however, I take an integrative approach as each person has individual needs and their therapy journey is unique to them. 

I have almost 7 years experience working in a trauma-based environment helping people navigate their trauma or adverse childhood experiences. I am experienced in working with a range of issues including depression, anxiety and panic. Whatever the problem, I am passionate, committed and invested in creating a safe space for us to explore it together. 

If you need any more information or want to ask a question, please get in touch.
