Nicole | Psychotherapist-Counsellor UKCP

Counselling West Hampstead - London

I have over twenty years experience working as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. My professional training and my own life experience means that that I will be able to help with a wide range of issues.

As your therapist I will engage with you as a person rather than a set of symptoms. My aim is to help you make changes, and to come to terms with difficult dilemmas. I will offer you a safe and confidential place to explore, express and understand your thoughts and feelings.

I am an Integrative therapist which means that I can work with a wide set of therapies rather than from a fixed approach. We are all faced with difficult struggles in our lives, most we work through, but some leave us feeling trapped and unable to see a way forward.

I work holistically taking in all the account all the aspects that makes us human. Stress and pain can sometimes cause us to shut down some of these aspects causing anxiety and depression. Our work together is to understand and heal from this.

I will encourage you to find a sense of purpose of direction, and to develop healthier relationaships both with yourself and others.

When I completed my training I worked as a therapist in a centre for alcohol and substance misuse for sixteen years, this helped me to understand the root cause of addiction and to list this as one of my specialisms. I then worked Part time in a project for Domestic violence for eight years helping survivors of abusive relationships. For the past ten years i have solely had a private practice.

If you would like to know more or book an appoinment with me do get in touch.
I can offer short term therapy or longer therapy. Sessions are for 50 minutes and our held weekly.

Online therapy

I use Skype and Zoom for on line therapy. I have been practicing on line therapy for a few years now and feel that it works well as it saves travelling time. Working on line is very much the same as face to face therapy. Clients can sommetimes find this way of working less daunting as they are in their own environment. This can be useful if a client wants to maintain their sessions and needs to travel for work.

Specialisations and Expertises

Like most therapists I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional work experience.

I worked in a residential treatment centre for 16 years. This has led me to understand dependency and the root of its causes. My belief is that addiction is an adoptive response to unwanted negative feelings and a search for a resolution as well as an escape from an emotional wound. I can help you to examine the problems that this is causing in your life, by looking at past and present difficulties. Our goal working together would be to restore you to healthy functioning, to have a better understanding of yourself, and to develop some strategies for maintaining sobriety. For the past few years I have also worked with gambling addiction and Video Gaming Addiction.

I worked part time and for 8 years co ordinating a service for domestic abuse. This has given me some insight into abusive realtionships and into co dependant relationships. I can offer a specialist support for people of all genders who are or who have been experiencing the effects of it. The therapy can help you reflect on your situation crearly I can help you to explore your feelings in a safe environment and will not judge you or tell you what to do The therapy can help you to consider options, to regain control of your life and to make your own decisions. Starting therapy can be the first step to making changes and empowering yourself. ( This therapy works better face to face rather than on line )
