Video transcript

Hi, my name is Nicole. I am a counselor, therapist and psychotherapist. I have a master's in counseling and psychotherapy, my bachelor's in psychology, and I am BACP registered. And I say all of that to say that I am qualified. I have years of experience in working with SEN issues, neurodivergence, learning difficulties and a multitude of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, dealing with anger management, grief, trauma, childhood issues, dealing with loneliness and racism, LGBTQIA issues, you know, all of that sort of thing. So I do have a lot of experience. I have a lot of success in helping many people with these sorts of issues. I work long term, short term, somewhere in the middle. My approach to therapy is really tailoring it to every specific client. So, you know, unlike maybe some other counselors, I really tailor it to who I'm working with rather than a one size fits all approach. and I primarily work with the person-centred approach, but I do employ elements of CBT and other methodologies. So yeah, and also what sets me apart is that I am neurodiverted myself, I have experience of mental health issues myself, so I can really come from a place of true empathy and understanding. And I also, unlike a lot of other counsellors, I'm qualified to work with children and young people as well. So I can work with children and young people and I can also give advice as to how to deal with children and young people. So that is a little bit about me and I look forward to hearing a lot about some of you.

"No one has ever said such nice things to me before" "You've really helped me" "I never thought of it that way"

Many of my clients have left satisfied and better off than when they first started. Due to my support, my former clients have improved their relationships and self-esteem.
