Nicki Cawley

I aim to provide a space where you can not only grow and thrive as a counsellor, but also feel free to bring your authentic self to our sessions. I will always approach our work together with openness and authenticity, and all of your thoughts and feelings are welcome.

At the beginning of each session, I like to take a few minutes to check in with you as a person. How are things in your world? How are you feeling? Your wellbeing matters to me, and if you would like to share, I will always be here to listen.

You are then encouraged to bring the clients you wish to discuss. This may include challenges you are facing, areas where you feel uncertain about the next steps, or clients who are progressing particularly well. The choice of what you bring to each session is entirely yours, and my role is to support, guide, and reflect with you where helpful.

Whatever is happening for you and your clients, honesty is key. I am not here to judge you or criticise your work. I am not your manager; within our sessions we work as professional equals. Through openness and honest reflection, both you and your clients can benefit.

If you are finding it difficult to build rapport with a client, talk about it. If you notice challenging feelings towards a client, bring that into the space too. These experiences are part of the reality of counselling work. We all have days where we feel we may not have been at our best. By acknowledging and reflecting on these moments with honesty, we create opportunities to learn, grow, and develop as practitioners.
