Nichola Riley

At Calm Counselling my role is to help you explore how you feel in a safe, comfortable environment where you feel supported. Counselling is a service that can provide you with the space, tools and encouragement to look deeply at experiences in your life that are causing you difficulties in your current life or stopping you from fully realising your future potential.

Through the counselling process you can develop a better sense of understanding of yourself and your life experiences, explore how you feel about yourself and your life and become more in tune with your emotions and create strategies and plans so you can support yourself in the future.

I welcome the opportunity to develop relationships with new clients and deepen those relationships with existing ones. Please email me to arrange a free 15 minute telephone consultation so we can discuss how I could help you. I am currently offering the first session of online or telephone counselling for free.

I offer a type of counselling called person-centred counselling. Person-centred counselling is centred around you and is a type of counselling where you lead the content of the sessions. As your counsellor I would empower you to feel comfortable in being the person who decides what we discuss in sessions and where the counselling takes us.

Support

My style of counselling is to support you in feeling that you are enough and that you are a valuable human being who deserves kindness, dignity and compassion. Counselling can be a difficult process and can sometimes feel challenging. The challenge provided in our counselling sessions is always supportive and respectful of you.

Alongside person-centred therapy I can integrate other types of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis or techniques such as mindfulness. If you are interested in exploring different techniques in sessions, then we can develop opportunities together.

Online

Online counselling provides you with a video face-to-face experience that can fit easily around your life. Online counselling is carried out in a confidential manner and ensuring your privacy online is very important to me. Online counselling sessions can be arranged to suit your schedule. To access online counselling sessions you will need an internet connection and to be able to install software we can use to communicate.

Telephone

Telephone counselling sessions enable you to access counselling wherever you have access to a telephone. Telephone counselling sessions take place in a confidential environment and your privacy is paramount. Telephone sessions can be arranged to suit your schedule. To access telephone counselling you will just need a telephone that I can contact you on and a quiet place to sit during our session.
