Her gentle and collaborative approach helps clients explore how early life experiences, difficult relationships or situations may still be shaping their thoughts, emotions and physiological responses today.

 

She is an accredited CBT therapist and EMDR therapist who integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and yoga psychology to support change at both a cognitive and physiological level.

With over 16 years of experience in the field of mental health, Nicky is an Integrative Psychotherapist whose work draws on Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic approaches. Experience includes working across national organisations, mental health charities, the NHS, and in private practice. Clients are met with respect, sensitivity, and a deep commitment to understanding their individual concerns and life experiences.

​

A significant part of Nicky's professional journey involved work within a London hospital’s Perinatal Unit, this setting offered valuable insight into the emotional and psychological shifts that often accompany the experience of becoming a parent. Motherhood can bring up complex trauma, and this is something Nicky offers exceptional support in. 

​

Mindfulness and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) principles are thoughtfully incorporated into sessions. These tools help create a confidential, supportive environment where clients are encouraged to simply ‘be’—to reflect, process, and move toward healing.
