Nicola Lascelles

Professional, experienced psychotherapist, accredited in several different approaches (psychodynamic, CBT,  EMDR, Solution Focussed work, supervisor, couples therapy) offering time limited or open ended, face to face or remote sessions (platform as agreed between us). 

Accredited by BACP, BABCP, ACTO UKCP as a senior practitioner and supervisor. Also a supervisor with BAPPS, ACC and APSE, and accredited by ACC as a therapist and EMDR Association as an EMDR practitioner. 

Previously a therapist in a Primary Care counselling service for 10 years (later an IAPT service in which I was a senior practitioner) and a psychotherapist at a variety of voluntary agencies across 20 years, I enjoy working with a wide range of working styles, practices and issues presenting in Primary Care. 

Alongside these roles, I have had a private practice for 20 years and added extra training across years to enhance my practice. I have supervised with organisations specialising in sexual abuse for 15 years and domestic violence trauma for 10 years, have an interest in spiritual issues, and now am fully in Private practice.

 Working with a range of clients referred from Local health services, GPs, insurance companies, self referrals, Diocese and nationally, I also work with students completing their therapy courses or in supervision training. I have a comforable, relaxed and professional consulting premises with a private, sole entrance.

All sessions are 50 mins in length and in our first session I take an extensive history so we can both decide if we can work together and if I can help. We can discuss ways to address the presenting issues and agree a way forward together. Regular reviews and use of appropriate outcome measures can be used help us both see the progress of the work or indicate how/where ajustments need to be made.

Experienced supervisor working with a range of individuals, modalities, organisations and student therapists. Also offers pastoral/reflective supervision as accedited by APSE. Accredited as supervisor with BACP, BABCP, BAPPS, UKCP and interested in supervisees professional development across time.

In our first session we focus on assessment of your current needs, contracting and mutually agree issues such as modality(s), boundaries,  periodic review and begin to build a sound and safe superisory space to develop practice within.
