Nicola Sheridan

I am available on Wednesday from 8a.m - 7pm and on Thursdays from 4.45pm. Please contact as I also work term time so have availability when I am not in school and can be flexible most evenings. 

Hi I'm Nic, I have over 30 years of varied experience of working in early years, family work, parenting and training, this gives me a breadth of knowledge and understanding of families, child development and trauma.

I have been working as a qualified therapist for 2 years. I am person centred trained and am trained as an EFT therapist (emotional freedom technique or tapping as it's known) I also use other modality's and models where appropriate for you. 

I have a small private practice in my home and see people 1-1 either face to face, online or over the phone. I love to work with different ages and use creative approaches as well as talking therapy to work through whatever challenges you may be facing.

 I'm easy going, down to earth and open minded, no judgement just care. I bring a holistic approach to therapy and find using EFT and a person centred approach work well together, but if a certain therapy isn't for you then that's okay too, I work with what you bring, need and want. 

My practice is small, welcoming and cosy. I am friendly, warm, approachable and bring an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable, relaxed and be you. There is no judgement, just a safe space for you to explore what has been going on for you. 

I work with a variety of people with different needs which gives me different skills with all age ranges, working with families in need has given me an understanding of the unique needs of families and how that dynamic impacts who we are, also working as a counsellor in school supporting staff and the challenges of groups in a work setting has helped me understand the differences and skills that we all bring to that team. Working with young people teaches me how he world has changed and that school can be a difficult place for a child, this diverse work supports my skills when working with people. 

 My expertise is family dynamics, trauma and parenting. I work with anxiety, identity, sexuality, families, confidence, body image and phobias. 

I update my skills on a regular basis and I'm always looking at different ways to work with people, this enables me to build on my skills and develop new ways of working. This is an exciting part of what I do which I love. Working with and alongside people has been my passion for a long time. 

I offer a 20 minute free introduction call, there we can chat about what you feel you need and want from therapy and see if we are a match for counselling. It's okay to shop around and explore different therapists, finding the right person is crucial for your needs. 

In our first session we will complete a contract of how we want to work together and an assessment to look at where your needs are, where we will explore what has been causing you distress or worry. We will then look at the best ways in what works for you to help you move through what you are experiencing, together.
