About me
I’m Nicki, an integrative psychotherapist and registered member of the BACP. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, which can be tailored to individual needs or aligned with your preferences. We can carry unresolved feelings, have feelings of depression, anxiety caused by trauma or life experiences, which can make our minds feel chaotic. The weight of these experiences can show up in ways we don’t always recognise. My therapy creates a safe space where your mind can breathe, your heart can speak, and your story can unfold and be heard.
You may feel stuck, but sometimes, the patterns holding us back are ones we’ve unknowingly learned (maybe in childhood). Therapy can help you begin to see that the way you feel/think does not have to be permanent. With the right support, you can realise you are not broken, you are becoming self-aware and getting to know the most important person - you. As this process unfolds, it can naturally build your confidence and strengthen your sense of worth.
If you would like to get in touch, I offer a free 15-minute call. So, click the 'Email Me' button at the top of the page to contact me directly. Or call, if I do not answer, message me or leave a message, and I will aim to contact you within 24 hours.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’ve worked with a wide range of organisations, supporting people with everyday challenges leading to stress and burnout as well as more complex mental health, emotional or neuro-diverse needs. Whether someone is feeling anxious, low, or overwhelmed - whatever the cause - I offer a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on and support you in finding a way forward.
I have experience working with all genders, and I understand that emotional challenges can show up differently depending on personal, social, and cultural experiences. I genuinely enjoy working with all genders in a supportive space where clients can explore their feelings, build insight, and develop practical strategies to move forward.
I’m especially passionate about helping people with relationship challenges—whether that’s between partners, family members, or within themselves. I have an interest in attachment theory, as it can help to make sense of how past experiences shape current patterns, and how you can build healthier connections.
I also have experience working with clients referred through NHS services, particularly those who’ve experienced sexual abuse or trauma in childhood. I understand how deeply trauma can impact someone in adulthood, and I approach this work with sensitivity and respect.
I’m committed to ongoing learning and development (CPD), in line with BACP standards. I’ve completed additional training in many different areas such as relational therapy and suicide ideation. This helps me offer thoughtful and up to date support that’s tailored to each person I work with.

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.
