Nicola Pendregaust

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, meaning that I tailor my approach to suit individuals’ needs. 

I am committed to providing a safe, confidential, empathic and supportive environment and relationship where you can explore your feelings and concerns at your own pace and sometimes challenge them, your behaviours, beliefs and values. Opportunity to talk about issues that impact on your life can help bring clarity and together we can realise what your choices and resources are and find solutions, to get you back on track. 

Chatting to me in a confidential, impartial and non-judgemental setting will help you to explore what’s going on for you and help bring about perspective and emotional balance.

You may be recently bereaved, having relationship difficulties,  experiencing depression, low self-esteem & confidence or maybe you can’t pinpoint what’s brought about your stress & anxiety, feeling helplessness or being stuck. It's alright not to have the answers or to find it difficult to make sense of emotions you are experiencing, yet having a trusting and safe environment, may be the right place for you, to share, talk through and explore what’s on your mind.

 I can help you take an honest look at your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, learn more about yourself and take control and responsibility for bringing about lasting positive change.

I offer telephone, on-line (video) counselling & walk & talk therapy too, as alternatives to face to face.

I offer a free informal 20-minute session so that you can see if I’m the right counsellor for you, to make sure you feel comfortable moving forward with therapy.

Our first session together is about introductions, getting to know each other and an assessment to understand how you would like counselling to support you.
