Nicola Perry Counsellor, Supervisor & Mindfulness Teacher.
About me
Hello & Welcome
I offer you a warm and relaxed counselling space where sessions can either be face to face at my counselling rooms in Weston Super Mare or Banwell alternatively if it suits you better telephone or Skype.
How I can help you
My aim is to offer you a supportive, understanding and trustworthy place, where you feel comfortable and confident to be able to voice your thoughts, feelings without the fear of being judged.
Together we can make sense of those worries and problems which maybe causing you distress. We can explore your thoughts and feelings which are hard to cope which maybe about yourself or another. At times therapy can be challenging but through this challenge you can gain new insights and new ways being so you feel like your life is back on tracks.
At its best, therapy offers a resource for healing, growth and life long change.
Specialisms
I have a particular experience and knowledge of helping people with:
- Relationship difficulties.
- Low self esteem & confidence.
- Anxiety & depression.
- Work based stress.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience.

Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority.
