My name is Nikki and I am a counsellor based in East Riding of Yorkshire.
I worked as a counsellor in NHS Occupational Health where I supported clients with work related concerns, Bullying and work-related stress going through employment process. Prior to this, I worked as a Neuro-intensive care Nurse, Day surgery and other areas of Nursing.
I later trained as a Health Visitor, where I completed extensive psychological training in areas including Relationships, Divorce, loss, Bereavement, Depression, Abuse, Low Self-esteem, Complicated Childbirth, and Postnatal Depression. I completed training with NSPCC including Childhood Attachment difficulties resulting from being in care or adopted, Meeting Children’s Emotional Needs (NSPCC), and Healthy Child development training were my everyday work. I gained valuable experience working with young people, Adults, and children living with or fleeing Domestic Violence and the impact of this Abuse and Neglect on them. Acceptance of change due to Bereavement or loss of a loved one, or loss of your health and adjusting to living with long term conditions are also areas I have worked with.
My NHS experience enhances my counselling work, as my developed relational and communication skills facilitate building a safe, therapeutic space and relationship to explore whatever issue you feel ready to bring to each session. Together, using PCC, I work alongside you as you lead us through whatever difficulties you need help resolving. There are so many difficulties that arise throughout our lives where counselling really helps, so if you decide it is for you, I would like to help.
Just to make you aware, I live with, and around chronic illness so have good insight into the challenges this brings. For this reason, I work part time and have always managed to provide a positive counselling experience despite these challenges but at times this means I must be flexible with my needs so please understand this as part of our agreement to work together.
As a Person-centred Counsellor registered with BACP MBACP (Accred) I adhere to BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
I am also an Emotion Focused Therapist, a registered member of Scottish Institute of Emotion Focused therapy (SIEFT) & a member of International Society for Emotion Focused Therapy (isEFT) so we can explore together using EFT the " core pain" that leaves us all struggling to understand our own feelings and resulting behaviours to find a better way forward for you.
I work part time, but flexible days to accommodate client needs. I work Face to face, Online, Telephone or a blend of any options if needed. 50 mins sessions short and longer term counselling available.
Fees:
I consider individual circumstances so please speak to me as I don't want finances to get in the way of getting the help you need
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how I work, or to arrange an initial consultation.
You can also call me on 07399 182736 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first.
