COUNSELLING IN steventon, online & on the phone

Welcome to Nicola Kelly Counselling

Hello I'm Nicola, thank you for taking the time to view my website.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and have worked with clients therapeutically for the last five years. I run my private practice from my home in a safe, secure and confidential setting in Steventon .

Prior to setting up in private practice, my background and experience was within a Criminal Justice setting, supporting victims of crime. My experience has included direct support to Victims/Survivors of Domestic Abuse, Sexual Violence and also families bereaved by Homicide.

My personal journey and growth within the therapeutic world of counselling has felt like a natural Stepping Stone. I am conscientious but real and continue to navigate my own learning with ongoing Training Courses and Continued Professional Development.

How we can work together

I work Integratively, this means that I will combine and draw on a range of modalities, including person-centred and a psychodynamic approach. Together, in this space, we can create an opportunity to talk and be present in the moment. I believe that we are all different and have our own unique way of being. We will work collaboratively to build a relationship that will provide you with compassion, flexibility and empathy to better understand yourself and make sense of your world.

We can find creative ways to challenge both thoughts, feelings and behaviours and find new coping strategies.

Your Journey

You may feel stuck in the past, having difficulty with a relationship or low self-esteem. Making sense of how you feel and who you are can be difficult. Allowing yourself the permission to explore 'you' at a deeper level, can be freeing. Processing emotions, moving away from old thought processes or ways of coping, understanding yourself better, can help to gain confidence, empowerment and a greater connection to yourself.

We can discuss on assessment if long or short term work is your preference and consider your expectations.

JE

"A calm and grounding space which helped my chaotic brain. Working through my issues, making them part of my story not a weight".
