About me
Choosing a counsellor can seem overwhelming when there are so many counsellors to choose from! I know, I have been in your position when I was looking for my own counsellor.
To help you I can tell you how you will find me both as person and as a therapist. I am a friendly, warm, kind, calm, honest and caring person. In the therapy room, I am patient, open, attentive, encouraging and have a gentle approach, however that doesn't mean that I won't challenge any limiting beliefs you may have about yourself! Most importantly I want you to feel comfortable, and I aim to provide you with a confidential space where you can relax and be completely yourself. In session, all feelings are welcome and it is a space where you can express yourself freely with no judgement from me.
Based in Cheltenham, working both in-person and online, I am an Integrative Counsellor and I draw upon Person-Centred and Psychodynamic theories in my work. I have experience of helping clients with anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, anger, grief and loss, relationship issues, childhood neglect, divorce, domestic abuse, menopause and mid-life issues affecting women, identity and gender issues, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity and hidden disabilities.
I offer a free short telephone call if you would like to find out more about how I work, or have any questions you would like to ask me. You can find further information at my website www.nickywarrencounselling.co.uk.

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.
