About me and my therapy practice
Hello my name is Nicole and I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with over twenty years experience.
Life at times can be challenging, people can feel lonely and isolated, stuck into old patterns of behaviour, confused about what to change. Reaching out can be hard and trusting others difficult. It's at these times that therapy can help. My way of working has you at the heart of it, my aim is to help you develop the qualities that you need to face your life's challenges past and present.
I work integratively, which means I have the benefit of drawing on a range of tools according to the needs of my clients, including aspects from the psychodynamic, creative arts and transpersonal approaches.
I work holistically, taking into account all the many dimensions that makes us human. Stress and pain can cause us to shut down some aspects of ourselves, causing anxiety, depression and other symptoms. My work is about how we can begin to understand and heal from this in order to reach our potential and live a more satisfying life.
I held a part time post co ordinating a project domestic violence for 8 years, working with both men and women who were in violent and abusive relationships.
I also worked for 16 years as a team Leader in a project for substance and alcohol abuse; this has given me the experience to work with addictions.
I now have a private practice working from two different locations in West Hampstead.
Please visit my website for further details.
Practice description
I work both face to face and online via Zoom and Teams.
I offer an initial free, short telephone assessment for 15 minutes to discuss any issues where you need some support and how the therapy could benefit you.
You can contact me by phone or email to arrange your first appointment or come to meet me and see if you would like to work with me.
I am flexible around appointments.
Therapy involves meting weekly (online or in-person) for sessions that last fifty minutes. It is a safe space which is confidential and non judgemental, and it gives you the chance to connect and understand your current difficulties.
You can have either short term counselling for a specific issue that is troubling you. This could be a crisis at home or at work, low self-esteem or feelings of anxiety or unhappiness.
I can also offer you long term therapy for getting emotional support and gaining an understanding of your struggles past and present, making lasting changes to your well being.
Please do check my website as I work with many issues.
My first session
Prior to our first session, I ensure that we have a brief phone conversation so that you can tell me a bit about yourself and what brings you to therapy. This is complementary. It is a chance for you to outline what you are seeking from therapy and what you hope to gain from it. It its a time where you can ask questions and get more information about therapy.
Then, if you would like to work with me and to meet me in person, we will set up our first session together. In this session, I will take a more in-depth history and focus on the difficulties that you would like to work through.
