Hello, I’m Nic
I’m a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering warm, thoughtful and down-to-earth support for adults experiencing difficulties in their lives.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative and shaped around you as an individual. I believe therapy works best when you feel able to be yourself, without judgement, and explore what matters to you at a pace that feels comfortable.
My clients come from all backgrounds and walks of life. Whatever brings you here, I aim to offer a safe and welcoming space where you can feel heard, respected and supported.
My path to counselling
My path into counselling was not a conventional one. After many years working in film and theatre, I decided to retrain at CPPD Counselling School in London.
I completed a Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and established my private practice in central London in 2015. Since the pandemic, I have worked from Hertford, Hertfordshire, seeing clients both in person and online.
Having experienced the value of counselling personally, I understand how meaningful and transformative it can be to feel genuinely heard and understood. That experience and belief in the value of therapy sit at the heart of the work I do today.
What you can expect from me
A relationship
built on trust
The relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of effective therapy. I aim to be warm, honest, reliable and respectful, giving you the time and space to explore what is happening for you.
Therapy shaped
around you
No single approach to counselling will suit everyone. We will work in a way that responds to your individual needs, experiences and hopes for therapy.
A welcoming and inclusive space
You will be met with warmth, acceptance and curiosity, without assumptions or judgement. You are welcome to bring every part of yourself and your experience into our work together.
Professional experience and qualifications
I am committed to providing safe, ethical and effective counselling, supported by regular supervision, continued learning and professional reflection.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
Qualifications and professional commitments:
You are welcome here
I work with adults from all backgrounds and appreciate the courage it can take to seek support.
I have particular experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community and people affected by addictive or compulsive behaviours. My practice is welcoming, inclusive and affirming, regardless of your sexuality, gender identity, background or life experiences.
Whatever you are facing, we can begin with what feels most important to you and explore it together.
Taking the first step can feel difficult
If you are considering counselling, I offer a free initial telephone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk briefly about what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions and see whether working together feels right for you.
