About Counselling. Nik in Purple Top
Does life feel like its getting on top of you?

Could you benefit from a place to take some time-out?

... to explore your thoughts and feelings


I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist. I have been a practising counsellor in South West London & Bournemouth for the past 24 years and I adhere to the codes of practice and ethics as set out by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I am committed to providing Counselling and Psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.


I work with both individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

Depression
Abuse, neglect and bullying
Anxiety, panic and feelings of guilt

Issues of power and control

It is my belief that we all go through difficult times and experience traumas that affect our lives
Some of us want to address and explore this, with a view to healing. However sometimes we get stuck and become deskilled.

I believe that we all have the capacity to self heal and that this can be done in a number of ways ....one of these being counselling/psychotherapy. The job of the therapist is to facilitate this change. This does not mean that I will tell you what to do or that I will suddenly become the expert on your life. Instead, I endeavour to create an environment that is conducive to addressing this and to use my skills and training to facilitate this process.

I suggest an initial session for us to meet and assess your needs. Should we decide that I can be of help then we contract for further sessions.


I work in both London and Bournemouth. My South West London practice is based in Putney, London, which is within easy reach of Barnes, Richmond, Mortlake, Sheen, Hammersmith, Fulham, Twickenham , Southfields, Clapham, Battersea and Wimbledon. My Christchurch practice is within easy reach of Bournemouth, Lymington, New Milton, Ringwood, Highcliffe and the New Forest
