Nicola’s counselling transformed my life and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I was going through an exceptionally tough time when I first started working with Nicola.  I was dealing with issues ranging from health problems to bereavement.  Every step of the counselling process was flawless. When I initially reached out to Nicola, she was kind and approachable. She made the start of the counselling process feel really natural and she was immediately a support to me.  As the sessions continued, I was amazed by Nicola’s incredible ability to understand really complex and nuanced situations and feelings, by her phenomenal listening skills, by her empathy and by her kindness.  She is one of the most empathetic and kindest people I have ever met. She helped me to challenge some of my unhelpful patterns of thinking and to lessen my anxiety. Nicola created a safe space where I felt able to be really open and honest without judgement. She helped me to work through some complex issues and face bereavement in a way that I hadn’t felt able to do until working with her. As our counselling sessions were coming to an end, Nicola helped me with the transition. She let me set the pace of when we were going to stop the sessions and that felt very empowering.  What’s more, Nicola made it clear that her door is always open if ever I want to have any more counselling sessions in the future, which makes me feel I’ve got a safety blanket if ever I need her support in the future.  I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to have counselling with Nicola.  To anyone who is thinking about reaching out to Nicola but hasn’t done so yet, please do! You won’t regret it. I genuinely can’t imagine a scenario where working with Nicola wouldn’t make your life better! A huge thank you to Nicola for all that you do.
