Nicola Godbold

I can work to a flexible schedule agreed between us - a regular slot which suits both of our diaries which can be amended in advance, if needed. I sometimes take time off during half term breaks but I will advise you of this in advance. 

Life can be unpredictable and throw a multitude of challenges our way. As an integrative Counsellor, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals of all ages navigate the challenges they face throughout their lives. My approach focuses on assisting clients in understanding themselves and empowering them to overcome the obstacles that hinder their personal growth and well-being. I tailor my work to each client, understanding that therapy needs can vary significantly – it's not a one-size-fits-all model. Whether you want to be truly heard without judgment, or have a goal to work towards, I aim to work with what you need from a therapist and provide you with a positive, open minded and welcoming therapeutic experience. 

I work with an open, genuine and sometimes challenging outlook with your needs at the forefront of our work together. We can work verbally, creatively or within a structured framework, with free movement between the approaches, depending on your needs which will be discussed at assessment. 

I am qualified in Humanistic Gestalt Counselling and have completed my degree (Level6) in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have experience and additional training in working within neurodiversity and am passionate about making counselling accessible to all. 

I offer a free, no obligation assessment session, which can be done online or in person. This usually takes between 20-30 minutes and this session is an opportunity for us to initially discuss your reasons for wanting counselling, as well as getting to know whether you feel that I am the right fit for you. 

I will send through some basic information forms to you on first contact via email, to save time within your assessment appointment. All of which is held in line with GDPR.
