About me
Hello!
Thanks for for visiting my profile. My name is Nicolle and I'm a BACP accredited therapist working from a practice in south Birmingham.
At times, life can be difficult. Sadness, feelings of anxiety and depression, a lack of confidence, difficulty with relationships and many other issues can overwhelm us. Talking to friends and family can be enough, but talking to a supportive independent 'stranger' often seems easier. I have learnt from experience that opening up and starting to make sense of thoughts and feelings can be a difficult but very rewarding process.
In a confidential and non-judgmental setting I can offer you support exploring any issues you may struggle with. I believe we are all individuals and no two people are the same. Paying attention to your individual experience and really trying to understand this is very important to me, as we can often be left feeling we need to live up to people's expectations.
Taking the first step to seeing a therapist can be difficult so feel free to call or email me should you have any questions.
Training, qualifications & experience
My background lies in nursing so I have been supporting people for many years now. I realised what I enjoyed most, and where my strength lies, was spending time with people and hearing their stories so I started a level 2 course in counselling skills at Bournville College after which I continued onto a level 3 course at Solihull College.
These two courses confirmed I felt passionate about becoming a counsellor and I went on to complete a BSc in Humanistic Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy at the Sherwood Institute In Nottingham. This course gave me insight into how our early relationships can (often unconsciously) impact on us and our relationships in the present. I have worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and have several years experience working with clients who have experienced sexual violence and abuse.
Member organisations
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.
