About me
*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*
As a therapist, I work to ensure that I consider the uniqueness of the individual. I have experience working with individuals from a diverse and marginalized backgrounds across my career. I seek to connect with individuals and their experiences with compassion and humility. In therapy you will be at the centre of the therapeutic journey. Offering individualised therapeutic approaches that evokes the positive changes in meeting your therapy goals and sense of autonomy.
I specialise in Pluralistic Psychotherapy, an integrative branch of therapy that applies a multitude of therapeutic models to suite your unique needs and differences. This approach promotes a mutual sense of collaboration and levels of cultural competency to make you as the individual feel heard and seen. In the therapeutic space, I will meet you with empathy and unconditional acceptance. I will ensure that I provide a safe space for you to explore the depths of your difficulties and work with you to evoke change. There is no limit to the number of sessions as I implement a person-centred framework, however, sessions are regularly reviewed to clarify the usefulness of sessions.
I use creative ways of promoting self-learning, direction and understanding. I am interested in applying parts of neuroscience to identify what may be going on biologically in the body.
I have had experience with working with the following issues:
- Depression & Low Mood
- Anxiety & Panic
- LGBTQIA+
- Neurodiversity
- OCD
- Grief
- Trauma
- Domestic violence
- Victims of abuse
- Relationship issues
- Chronic health issues
- Low self-esteem
I am based in the North Manchester area for face to face sessions but can work with people all over the UK if working online or via telephone.
Finding a therapist can be a daunting and overwhelming process. If you have any questions you would like to ask me before we arrange a initial 30-minute discussion, then go to my contact page for details.
Thanks so much,
Nicole

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
