About me
Hello, I'm Nikki and thank you for considering working with me. I am a senior psychotherapist (BABCP accredited) with 14 years of experience working in private practice and in the NHS, including as the clinical lead for an NHS psychology service. I use a range of therapies including CBT, EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), DBT and IFS. The therapies I offer have a strong evidence-base for supporting people experiencing stress, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depression, OCD or trauma (PTSD). I am also trained in psychoanalytic theory, allowing for a deeper, more reflective therapy where helpful.
I understand that starting therapy can feel really daunting and it's my role to support you to feel at ease and answer any questions you might have. The people I work with describe me as warm and down to earth. I'd be very happy to offer a free 15 minute consultation, so that we can meet and go through things in a little more detail.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked in the NHS for 14 years and have held a range of senior roles. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience of working in CAMHS and adapting therapy for children, teenagers and families.
I initially completed three years of postgraduate therapy training and I am dually accredited with the BABCP and HCPC. I have continued to access training across a range of therapeutic modalities throughout my career.
