My Approach

Are you finding things are not how you imagined at this moment in time? Are you finding you are feeling overwhelmed, lost and unsure where to turn? Maybe things seem to bother you more than they did before and you don't know why. or you find your withdrawing from things that used to give you joy? Do you want to better understand your reactions and have a place to explore your fears and worries.

I seek to connect with my clients in a way that makes them feel safe to share their story, of who they are. Maybe they do not know that themselves, but together we will connect the pieces. I will explore attachment, family, relationships - past and present, work in a way to listen to your body and find the words to express how you feels.

Beginning counselling can be scary and daunting, facing the unknown in many ways, but know that I will listen, and not judge you but provide a safe space for you to share and begin to make the changes you seek. Feel free to make that first step by arranging a call, and we can take it from there.

About Me

Hi I'm Nicola.
Thank you for taking the time to read more.

I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Peterborough., working face-to-face with clients.   

I am approachable, compassionate, warm and supportive.  I know it can be scary taking the first steps into counselling. I provide a relaxed feel to our sessions, in the hope you will feel comfortable to be yourself, and I will be myself with you.  I work with my clients to explore why they feel the way they do.

When working with you I might explore your past, present and future; in a holistic and safe way.  My hope is that you will feel better equipped to move forward in your life outside the counselling room with a greater sense of who you are.

Sessions are weekly for 50mins, same time and location each week. Cost £55 per session.
I do have some low cost spaces but these are currently full.

I work with

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

Cancer can cause ripples in may lives, not just those living with cancer but their family and friends. I can provide a compassionate space for my clients to explore their feelings whether they are living with cancer or supporting someone who is. In counselling you can find ways to make sense of who you have become after cancer has touched you, and how you can move forward. Learn to be compassionate towards yourself and others, but at the same time find a way to express the full range of emotions you may be going through. With my nursing background I have an understanding of terminology and the medical environment that you may be encountering. I have done some short-courses with Macmillan to further my understanding and to keep informed of changes to care.
I have worked with many clients who have wanted to understand their low mood and why they feel the way they do. In my work with clients I explore how this might show up in their day to day life and where it might have come from. Together we explore ways to manage these low moods and find ways to better understand how this can be expressed and made sense of. In turn better understanding your self and proving compassion to how you are feeling. I have special interest in the postnatal and antenatal depression due to my work within paediatric nursing and health visiting, where I supported many mothers and fathers in their parenting journey.
