Hi, my name is Nicki, I am a British Asian woman, and mother of 3 children, and I am pleased you’ve taken this step towards caring for your emotional wellbeing.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, but my aim is to create a safe, warm space and provide a calm, empathetic, supportive, and confidential space where you can talk freely and feel heard without judgment.
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I demonstrate a strong commitment to the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I consistently consider issues of confidentiality, safeguarding, and client autonomy.
I use a range of counselling skills with clinical sensitivity, drawing upon a variety of modalities depending on my client’s needs.
I have worked with a broad range of clients spanning from early adolescence (11 years onwards) through to older adulthood.
I have engaged with a wide spectrum of presenting issues, including bullying, navigating friendship issues, bereavement, family breakdown, anxiety, trauma, the challenges of caring responsibilities, homelessness, impact of immigration, substance misuse, physical and mental health difficulties, addiction, parental and attachment issues, victims of narcissistic abuse, contested wills, faith- and religion-based concerns. I’ve worked closely with individuals with autism, ADHD, and other neurodiversity-related conditions, adapting support to meet diverse needs.
I have experience of helping clients recognise recurring relational patterns such as avoidance, people-pleasing, or defensive anger and explore the origins and functions of these patterns. By raising awareness, I aim to empower clients to make more conscious choices in their relationships.
As a British Asian woman, I know what it can feel like to grow up between cultures and to balance different expectations, having a therapist who shares some of that cultural awareness can make it easier to open up and feel understood. I don’t assume our experiences are the same, but my own journey helps me to meet you with
I am a committed counsellor. I bring warmth, understanding, and dedication to every interaction, and I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as they navigate emotional challenges. Happy to work online or face-to-face.
