Nico Heinimann

Do you feel anxious, depressed, flat and disconnected? Do you feel burnt out from trying to keep up and fit in? Have you worked hard to establish yourself, only to now find that something essential is missing? Do you long to break free, and align your life more with your longing, your wildness, your eros and freedom of expression? Are you concerned by what you see happening in the world, and do you wish all the more urgently and passionately to finally cultivate a way of being, being with others and being in the world, true to you?

Welcome to my practice. I specialise in working with high-aspiring individuals and couples at the threshold of midlife, as well as creatives and those who ‘think and feel differently’, who are longing for deep change and to explore more of life - within themselves, their relationships, and all that this existence has to offer.

You long to escape the rut - to reclaim vitality, intimacy and creativity. You are looking for a therapist who 'gets it' - who meets you where you are at, and has the life experience and skill to passionately and compassionately companion you to finally honour your deep, wild longing. To explore how my work can support you, book a free 15 minute phone call.

About me

Besides my clinical training and other therapeutic influences, I am inspired by spiritual, phenomenological, somatic and systemic perspectives on healing, by old wisdom traditions and body-mind-spirit practices. I have always felt a passionate curiosity about existence, a deep love for nature and reverence for the web of life that holds us. 

I am fascinated by questions around identity and belonging, embodiment, intimacy, creativity, sexuality, death and dying, with a lot of hard-won ground to offer solid holding in those areas. I aim to include all aspects of our multifaceted nature - physical, emotional, cognitive, intuitive, energetic, relational and spiritual - in my work, and to reconcile different narratives and perspectives, in view of the 'bigger picture'. The practical and intellectual, pragmatic and mystical dimensions are equally significant for me, and I draw on a wide skillset to assist people in those ways which feel most befitting for them. I enjoy connecting deeply, and honour each client as a unique being, with their singular story, experience and trajectory, and their own sovereign capacity for awareness, will and authentic expression.

I offer a souful, catalytic and skillfully held therapeutic process, of deep shared presence and experiential enquiry. My practice is integrative and trauma-informed. I am dedicated to effectively getting to the 'heart of the matter' - passionate about 'retrieving the gold from the shadows', and fostering beautiful new possibilities from the wild heart of my client's unique individual and relationship experience.

£100 for a 60-minute session for couples or £150 for a 90-minute session

Our first session is an opportunity to mutually introduce ourselves, and for me to understand what outcome you are looking for from therapeutic work together, and you can ask any questions you may have. If after that you wish to embark on the therapy journey with me, we will agree on a framework together and regularly review the work, to ensure that you get the most out of therapy.

Sessions take place weekly on the same day and time.

Depending on your needs, I am happy to undertake either long or short-term work.
