Nicole Uprichard

I am an experienced trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor and personal development coach offering short and long-term therapy.

In my counselling sessions, I offer compassionate and confidential support for a wide range of psychological difficulties including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, anger and relationship issues. 

In coaching, my approach is forward-looking and action-oriented, helping people identify and work towards specific personal or professional goals. 

I draw on various therapeutic models when working with clients depending on what feels most helpful and beneficial.  I can offer a holistic blend of counselling and coaching as an effective way of working towards personal development and growth.

I also work with parents who have experienced the profoundly difficult challenges of baby loss and birth trauma.

Sessions take place either in person, online, on the telephone or as walk and talk therapy outdoors. They are usually once a week for 50 minutes. 

In our therapeutic journey together, I will provide you with a safe, confidential space for exploring all aspects of yourself in the past, present and future. We will work collaboratively to facilitate growth, development and healing. 

I have undergone extensive training in various therapeutic models including Somatic Trauma Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Gestalt, Performance Coaching, Existential, Birth trauma counselling and supporting parents following baby loss.

In our first session, I will try to help you feel at ease.  I will ask some background questions about your life, childhood, upbringing and any significant events that may have led to coping strategies developing.

As adults it can be hard to recognise coping strategies which have developed. They are often so deeply rooted that it can be very hard to change. In our work together, I will try to help you recognise these patterns of behaviour, and slowly learn to shift them, leading to insight and personal growth.
