Nicolas Merry

My primary role is to assist you alleviate the emotional weight of your experience, support you in finding long term peace and help you regain the control and quality of your life.

I am an experienced bereavement counsellor, working with people in their grief and helping individuals come to terms with the complex nature of death. I understand the various emotions, thoughts and physiological feelings associated with bereavement and can help support, manage and cope in the grieving process. 

I am experienced in supporting people who struggle with a compulsive pornography addiction. I am non-judgemental. I help people understand the nature of porn addiction and how to gain the strength to overcome its compulsion and work to alleviate the associated guilt and shame. 

I purposefully manage a small counselling practice as I work on furthering my professional counselling qualifications. Having only a small number of clients allows me to focus on you and your individual challenges in and outside of our time together.

I am experienced working independently as a counsellor and with several UK charities, specialising in bereavement, family trauma, pornography addiction, and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. 

There is no fee for our initial meeting as we will use it to talk about what led you to counselling. This first discussion will also give you the opportunity to decide if you feel you could work with me and allow me to gauge whether my experience and skills meet your needs. This contact will last up to 30 minutes whereas all future counselling sessions will normally be 50 minutes.

If your experience is beyond my expertise I will tell you in the introductory meeting; your welfare is important and finding the right counsellor with the right skills to work with is essential.
