About Nicole

My approach

I work in an integrative and trauma‑informed way, which means I tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than following a rigid or one‑size‑fits‑all model.

​

My work draws on psychotherapeutic counselling, EMDR, hypnotherapy and mindfulness‑based techniques. This allows us to address both the psychological and physical effects of anxiety, stress and trauma, helping you to feel more regulated, grounded and in control.

​

Therapy with me focuses on understanding what is happening for you, developing practical strategies to support your nervous system, and working towards meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
