Nicholas Morwood

I'm Nick, and I specialise in trauma-informed care, often working with survivors of narcissistic, parental and partner mistreatment and/or abuse. If you need help with overwhelming or inexplicable anger, sadness, low self-worth, forgetfulness, burnout, sleep disturbances, addictive or obsessive behaviour, you might be experiencing symptoms associated with single or repeated traumas. These are sometimes related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder/PTSD, or Complex-PTSD/C-PTSD. I am trained to help with these challenges.

My rates are £70 per session, after an initial free phone call. I currently have limited availability, which you can access on the "Book Now" section. I practise in person and online, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. My office is in Eltham, South-East London, with free parking and walking distance from Mottingham and Eltham stations. I look forward to welcoming you.

My core values are kindness, authenticity, ethics and integrity. I qualified with Distinction from Inter Psyche, the only counselling and psychotherapy training centre within the NHS. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP - 410218). I have been practising as a trauma therapist for two years. Previously I worked as a lecturer, and I hold a PhD in literature from the University of Toronto. This experience enables me to support my clinical work with ongoing research.

Please note that, in order to ensure the highest standard of care, I follow the BACP guidelines of limiting myself to 20 clients per week. I close my booking system without notice whenever I reach this number. I update this page when that happens, but there may be some lag. If you would like to make a booking, please visit my website to book online, or contact me here.

Underpinning all my work is a commitment to trauma-informed practice. This means that I take care to approach my clients with the knowledge that over 70% of people will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime. Traumas include loss of relationships or marriage, bereavement, and emotional, physical and sexual abuse.

While each of us is an individual, with unique experiences, beliefs and identities, we are united by a common nervous system, neurochemistry and neurobiology. I know, therefore, that unprocessed trauma may have happened in the past, but traumatic memories and behaviours still exist in the present, which might be making it hard for us to live the lives we want to live.

Trauma can persist in forms like sensory or emotional flashbacks; relational challenges such as insecure attachments styles; cognitive distortions such as negative self-image; dissociation and disembodiment such as lack of connection to emotions and of who we are inside; and other unconscious behaviours that were once crucial to survival, but may now not be serving us. Indeed, many clients do not even consciously realise that they have been traumatised, and live their lives full of self-recrimination for why they feel different or not good enough.

Trauma-informed care acknowledges that people react to trauma in such largely predictable ways, and have specific needs in order to heal. Such work can be transformative, enabling deeply powerful exploration and mourning of the past experiences that may still haunt us in the present. This can lead to leaving those memories in the past, along with the emotions, reactions and behaviours that accompany them, integrating them into a life that is not defined by the past. Ultimately, this journey supports you on your path toward post-traumatic growth, which can be one of the most profound processes of the human condition.

Please see my website if you are curious about trauma-adjacent symptoms, and would like more detail.

I use an initial free call with prospective clients in order for you to get a sense of me as a person and as a therapist. This is normally 10-20 minutes in length, and everything, as with all therapy, will be kept confidential. I believe strongly in the power of every client's felt sense and of the client's right to choose. Indeed, in therapy we will explore how far these innate human qualities can enrich and empower us! So I trust and respect you to make the best choice for you after our call. You are under no obligation to work with me, and I encourage you to check out other therapists too before choosing me.

Our first paid session will be a 50-minute assessment to allow us to explore what brings you to therapy. I will discuss with you what you hope to gain from therapy, some of your history, and what working with me might be like for you. I also like for you to find out how you feel in your body and brain as we work together, and I may chat with you about this, because this can give me crucial information about the kind of relationship dynamic you need to feel secure and safe.

I have personal therapy too, so I know how difficult it can be to step into your first therapy session with a new therapist. I work collaboratively and at a pace that is sustainable for you. I prioritise the conditions for neuroplasticity and post-traumatic growth: a sense of safety, trust, non-judgment, and real connection. Doing this means that anyone can change themselves and their lives for the better, no matter how impossible that might seem in the present moment. You are the expert in your life and in what feels right for you. It is a myth that you must always be talking about difficult or upsetting subjects in order to be “doing therapy.” In fact, rushing into this kind of work can be unsafe and harmful. Your safety and well-being are my first priority, and I will always treat you with warmth and compassion. I enjoy meeting new clients, and I look forward to talking with you.
