Modern life is hard! There are times in most people's lives when we all need a bit of support, whether that be with our relationships, family dynamics, emotions or deeper unresolved issues.
There is no shame at all in struggling with our mental health.
Things are changing and mental health issues hold far less stigma these days. Often the fact that its difficult to talk about mental health problems can be one of the hardest parts of seeking help. Making that initial appointment is the hardest but most courageous step.
I'm an inclusive therapist, currently undergoing assessments for Autism and ADHD and welcome everyone. I'm passionate about adapting therapy to suit all.

I Graduated in 1999 with a BA (Hons) in Psychology. I moved away from Psychology for a few years before retraining as a therapist after undergoing treatment myself.
The main focus of my work is Compassion Focused Therapy, but I use a highly creative, individualistic and integrated approach to counselling, drawing on my training in several modalities and personal experience.
I have completed a Diploma in CBT, Diploma in Person Centred Counselling, Foundation and advanced training in Compassion Focused Therapy, Primary and advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and The Primary Certificate in REBT. I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society and have memberships with both The Compassionate Mind Foundation and The Mindfulness Association
What is Compassion Focused Therapy?
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is an integrative psychotherapy model that focuses on the cultivation and application of compassion for both self and others. CFT integrates cognitive-behavioural therapy techniques with evolutionary, developmental and social psychology; affective neuroscience; and Buddhist psychology. The approach was originally developed for clients with high-levels of self-criticism and shame and has a growing evidence-base for a variety of clinical disorders and presentations. Practicing compassion has been shown to have powerful effects on physiological, psychological and social processes, specifically in the regulation of threat-focused emotional experiences and the development of a caring orientation to suffering.
CFT model
What is a "Trauma-Focused" approach?
When working with trauma in therapy, it is important to work with a therapist who is trauma-informed, meaning that they are specifically trained and experienced in working with the impacts of trauma. A trauma-informed therapist will be aware of the impacts of trauma on the individual’s brain, physical well-being, and emotional well-being.
Working on psychological trauma always holds the risk of becoming re-traumatised. This can happen when the therapy is moving too quickly and the client isn’t prepared with the coping skills and mechanisms with which to manage the emotions and memories that are brought up during the course of psychological therapy.
Currently Training....
What's next?
I'm currently training in Forest Bathing, Ecotherapy, Neurodiversity (Autism/ADHD) in Mental Health and hope to attend a few conferences this year.

Feedback on therapy sessions
Feedback from client, J:
I don’t where I’d be or what I would have been doing now if it wasn’t for your amazing help. I was in a very bad place when I first came to you for help and your hard work and understanding has helped me so much, I will always look back at this period in my life and remember how I got through it with your support, I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you.
Client AD:
After experiencing many life changing events including the loss of close family members, my mental health was affected. Anxiety and depression prevented me living my life fully and my self punishing behaviour seemed a ‘ safe ‘ place. Nicola has helped me to be compassionate towards myself thus beginning the recovery process . I would recommend her as a psychotherapist because of her empathy and compassion. I feel supported and I trust her methods . I feel so much better.
Client Kay:
I must articulate again what a tremendous amount I got from my time with you : you helped me to understand and accept many things in the kindest, most gentlest of ways and you really laid the foundation for the work that I have since done myself to find peace and contentment after a really rotten experience! You were such an important part of everything. Thank You so much again for your professional support.
