Hi, my name is Nicola and I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor offering individual counselling online or over the phone.
It may be that you have a relationship issue or family issue you want to work through, or perhaps you haven't been feeling right for some time and wonder if counselling may be able to help with this.
I have several years experience and have worked with many clients and have experience in a range of issues. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
About me and my practice
About me - Integrative Approach
I will work together with you to make sure that your experience is as comfortable as possible, and to ensure that you feel safe to explore the topics that you would like. During our first appointment, we will explore what has brought you to counselling and gives you the chance to meet me and check out if you feel comfortable with me and wish to continue working together.
It is common for people who come to counselling to feel that they are experiencing a range of problems, instead of fitting into one neat label. I have been trained in an Integrative Counselling Approach, which means I draw on a variety of different theories and psychological backgrounds in my work. Working with an integrative model of counselling, I am able to listen to your individual story and be flexible to the range of issues you may be having and how we work with these. My Integrative training has included CBT, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred and Gestalt approaches.
My approach is mainly based on us talking through whatever it is you would like to focus on, although sometimes we may try some creative methods which can help to view things from a different perspective. However, this will be up to you to work in whatever way you feel comfortable.
Experience
I have several years experience of working with relationship issues including family, partner and friendship problems, as well as stress, anxiety, depression and bereavement, and would be able to help you navigate and find some way forward with these problems. Having worked in a variety of settings, including counselling young people, providing telephone counselling to large organisations and running my private practice, I have over 2000 hours of counselling experience of working with a variety of difficulties.
If you would like to find out more about whether I would be able to help you, please feel free to email me to ask. If you'd prefer, I am able to offer a ten minute telephone conversation for any queries or questions you have.
