Nikki King

As your counsellor I will aim to offer a warm, caring, non-judgemental and collaborative relationship with you to explore what might be troubling or holding you back.

Sometimes life can be challenging and feel painful. This might be caused by our current circumstances, our relationships, a recent or not so recent loss, or it might be rooted in past difficulties and experiences. Either way, this can show up in overwhelming feelings such as anger, depression, feeling sad, anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence, or a general sense of disquiet or dissatisfaction that is difficult to move through.

My Way of Working

I am trained as an Integrative-Relational Counsellor which means I am able to draw on a range of approaches to find a way of working that fits you. Most importantly, I aim to offer you a relationship where you feel safe and supported to explore how you currently feel, which facilitates greater understanding and acceptance of yourself and insight into the roots and patterns behind those difficult feelings, enabling you to move forwards. Counselling doesn't always have to be tough though. Sometimes it can be about the exciting process of discovering more of who you are, and how to live with more energy and joy to fulfil your potential.  

I work in person and online, offering both brief (six to twelve weeks) and open-ended therapy. I currently work with adults, aged 18 and above. 

I know it’s not easy to make the first step of approaching a counsellor so I offer a fifteen-minute telephone consultation free of charge, and an initial appointment at a reduced rate so we can establish whether we might work well together. 

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by their code of ethics, requirements for supervision and requirements for continued professional development.
