Nichola

SPECIALISING IN TRAUMA informed therapy, anxiety, depression, personality difficulties and other serious mental health issues.

I am a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist and Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience in private and public work.

I provide therapy both talking therapy for those who would like to talk about their issues. I provide creative approach through art making. Sometimes an integrative approach can be used, integrating different approaches to psychotherapy, where coping strategies may be suggested for a particular problem. 

I adapt my way of working according to a sensitive assessment for clients needs, and have experienced in working with vulnerable people of different ages with varied mental health issues, physical health problems, learning disabilities, Autism and Personality Disorders.

How we work together:

I aim to help people who have experienced past traumas, mental illness and psychological distress.

In an initial consultation we can put a plan together at our initial assessment, while maintaining regard for your age, ethnic background, cultural, sexual, LGBTQ or religious needs or preferences. 

Art psychotherapy, is a form of psychotherapy that uses art making and discussion to explore difficult experiences and feelings. It’s a therapeutic process that can be particularly helpful for clients who find it difficult to express themselves verbally or who may have trauma-related memories that are more easily accessed through visual or tactile experiences.

The approach I use in psychotherapy that explores the unconscious mind to understand current and historical emotional difficulties. Through gaining self-awareness and insight into how past experiences impact present thoughts, feelings, and behaviour, and can lead to clarity and relief from psychological pain.
