My name is Nikki and I am a counsellor & Emotion Focused therapist, and an Advanced Clinical Supervisor 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 before moving into private practice.

Prior to counselling, I trained and worked as a Health Visitor for 15 years, where I completed extensive psychological training in areas including family dynamic relationship difficulties, 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 all. Acceptance of change due to Bereavement or loss of a loved one or beloved pet, or loss of your health and adjusting to living with long term conditions are also areas I have experience of and work with. Before Health visiting ,I was an adult nurse working in Neuro-intensive care, general and plastics day surgery.
