Hi, I'm Nicola and I’d love to help you.
The fact you've landed here on this page means you're likely struggling with something and are looking for some help. That's where I come in. I offer a safe confidential space, free from judgement and prejudice, to talk through whatever challenge you may be facing. I work in a collaborative manner with my clients to help navigate issues and work on processing emotions and building resilience.
I know it can be daunting to reach out for help in the first place, but I assure you it will be worthwhile. Even just talking things through with someone who's completely removed from the situation can be incredibly helpful, and then we can look to work on techniques to help you move forward.
It is really important that you click with your counsellor which is why I offer a free initial phone consultation, so we can chat about what you are looking for help with ,and make sure we are a good fit for each other.
As a qualified, registered counsellor I focus my practice on the person centred approach. I will also draw on my knowledge of humanistic modalities, which enables me to work with a wide range of issues and experiences.
I offer in person appointments at The Grove Therapy Rooms in Ilkley, which is a short walk from the train station or main car park.
I can also see clients from anywhere online.
As a Clinical Supervisor with a CPCAB Level 6 qualification in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision, I offer professional, compassionate, and reflective supervision to counsellors at various stages of their career. I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment that encourages personal and professional growth for my fellow counsellors.
CPCAB Level 6 in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision. CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies. CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills.
I attend monthly clinical supervision to ensure I continue to practice safely, within ethical guidelines.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and work towards their ethical framework.
Along with my private work, I am also the Lead Counsellor for an NHS GP Practice, managing counselling placements. Within this role I also facilitate a Well Being Hub, providing a safe, confidential space for the community to come together to support one another in times of stress.
Are you looking for counselling that understands men’s mental health? I offer compassionate, person-centred therapy in Ilkley, West Yorkshire as well as online, supporting men through issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, bereavement, and trauma.
