Hello and Welcome
I'm Nicky, a person centred therapist, offering counselling via my therapy room in Ossett, Wakefield, phone or online.
Offering you a warm and down to earth approach, I aim to create an atmosphere where you can voice your thoughts and experiences as well as explore and reflect on your current situation in order to move into a more meaningful, present and happy future.
A welcoming place where you can find connection and understanding in an every-day, human way, where your sadness, humour, grief and hurt is welcome.
The Way I Work
My core training Person-Centred therapy means I work with the belief that you have the capability to grow and achieve your full potential and that you are the expert in your own life. Therefore, during counselling sessions, my role is to work alongside you by being honest, non-judgemental and fully accepting of you in a safe and supportive environment, allowing you to lead and set the pace of our work together in order that you understand yourself more fully and find your inner resources.
My additional experience in facilitating community mental health workshops and support groups means I have developed a vast ‘therapy tool kit’ over the years, therefore I can offer a range of resources and strategies to support you. Being a visual person, I also enjoy working creatively to encourage expression of thoughts and emotions if appropriate.
I work with adults aged 18+ and am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, relationship and work issues. I have a particular interest in working with carers, bereavement and loss. I attend monthly supervision and undergo personal therapy myself on a regular basis.
