Hi I'm Niki an Accredited Counsellor and Coach with many years of professional counselling and coaching experience with young people (15+) and adults. I feel truly honoured to do this work and would love the opportunity to support you through any struggles you are facing.
I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, self esteem, stress, confidence, anxiety, relationship issues, body, appearance, weight, parenting problems, career or study challenges, and much more.
Prior to becoming a Counsellor I worked in retail sales, business management, youth work, health and social care, and hospitality. Alongside my diverse current and previous work experience I have a BSc Health & Social Care Management, Diploma Therapeutic Counselling, Post Graduate Certificate: Coaching & Mentoring, Diploma CBT Hypnotherapy.
My personal life and work experiences, alongside my qualifications, have given me lots of insight into how I can help you overcome the difficulties you are facing.
My blended counselling and coaching approach offers you a way to explore and develop a new perspective. A way in which you can challenge yourself in as much emotional depth as you want. Looking back at the difficult things from your past and working through them, whilst looking forward towards how to get unstuck. I will blend psychological education, including relaxation techniques or coping strategies, into your sessions. I will help you figure out how to stay present and focus on the here and now so that you can be in control.
Taking the first step on the path towards seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, you have done that by reaching out, let me help and support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
