About me and my therapy practice

Hello I'm Nicky, a psychotherapist and trainee Counselling Psychologist from Devon.

I have a background in the arts and education as well as having worked in mental health since 2016. You could say I have been training to work therapeutically for most of my life, having grown up with mental health difficulties in my family and it is this lived experience that I feel enhances my skills alongside my experience working in the NHS, private healthcare and training in several modalities.

I adapt my approach to best fit the individual. I tend to think about how our history and unconscious can effect our present lives whilst also looking to help you build resilience and solve problems to improve your understanding of yourself and ability to manage life's difficulties.

Practice description

I currently only offer sessions online.

My approach is adaptable and I am willing to offer an assessment to anyone no matter your current issues.

Past clients have come to me because they were particularly concerned about their own behaviour, feeling out of control, wanting to make a change or understand themselves better. Perhaps a recent upheaval has made you think again, or someone that you trust has suggested therapy/counselling.

Drawing on my psychology training I am able to offer screenings for neurodiverse conditions as well as therapeutic work to support difficulties particularly related to neurodiversity (apologies I do not currently offer full assessments and cannot provide diagnoses of any sort).

My first session

I am happy to exchange emails giving a brief idea of your current concerns or issues before a first session.

Our first session will be an assessment charged at a lower rate to give us a structured way to start the process as well as allowing you an experience to decide if you would like to commit to working with me.
