Solution-focused therapy located in Basingstoke & Reading or online.

Hello. My name is Nicola.

If you’re reading this you may feel you’re in need of a space of safety, freedom or reflection.

It might feel hard to reach out to people around you for this, or you might need support from an independent and unbiased source. My practice can support you in this way. Whether its navigating a live-altering situation or decision, or finding the strength to make change.

Unlike most practitioners, I prefer not to limit myself to any one specific approach or way of working, I aim to use my training and experience to offer you what you need in this moment and as an individual.

As client you have the space to pause, reflect and be curious about your experiences in life and enrich yourself, though connection and dialogue, and we will work together to get you to where you want to be.

My Practice

A space for uncensored self-exploration. Here you can navigate your feelings, wants and needs and where these originate from to gain a clear perception of yourself, ultimately leading to psychological growth and increased wellbeing.

I blend elements of Psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside personal and professional experience to support clients with a range of difficulties, such as: 

  • Anxiety and OCD

  • Depression, low mood or low self-esteem

  • Bereavement, grief or loss

  • Stress or burnout

  • Exploring past experiences and trauma

  • Managing relationships and compulsive behaviour

  • Moving through and making sense of intense emotion

My practice is trauma-informed and regulated by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Aside from my private practice I have a wealth of experience working with mild to moderate mental health issues with charities across the country, supporting a diverse range of individuals with the above issues, as well as 18 years experience in hospitality and HR which informs my practice.

  • "We are wounded in relationships, and we heal through relationships.”
