Nicola Setter

My name is Nicky Setter and I am a qualified humanistic counsellor based in Wokingham. Here at One Life Therapies, I offer private counselling services for adults with a wide range of difficulties.

I understand that it can be difficult to navigate the ups and downs that life can throw at us. To know which way to turn or how to move forwards. Sometimes it can be helpful to talk to someone unrelated who can offer a safe, non-judgemental space in which to explore your feelings and thoughts.

Taking the first step in seeking help and making changes can feel overwhelming and even frightening. You can be reassured that at One Life Therapies, I will make sure you receive a warm, supportive and compassionate welcome.

I trust in my clients ability to know what is right for them and will work with you in a collaborative way to empower you to find your own solutions and way forward.

I work as a mainly person-centred counsellor. I will also use aspects of other types of counselling to offer an approach which suits your individual needs. I use a holistic approach in my work, which incorporates mind, body and soul and takes account of all parts of your life as a unique individual.

I continue to work as a volunteer in a local agency providing counselling to individuals aged 16 plus, as well as working as a school counsellor in Reading.

My background is in healthcare where I have worked as a doctor in the NHS for the last 15 years. Please note, that whilst my professional experience includes work as a qualified doctor, I do not offer medical services or medical advice of any kind to counselling clients. 

My qualifications are as follows:

- CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

- NCFE Level 3 Award in Counselling Skills and Theory

- NCFE Level 2 Award in Helping Skills

- MRCGP

- MBBS (Medical degree)
