About me and my therapy practice

Nicola Richter, DiplPsych - MSc; PGDipHE, MBACP (Senior Accredited), UKCP Registered, GMBPsS, Fellow HEA

I work holistically and offer you a welcoming service tailored to your needs and wants.  With my over 30 years and over 20,000 hours of experience in providing this confidential, fully insured service you are in safe hands for your emotional, psychological and spiritual enquiries. 

I assist you in: 

• gaining a deeper awareness of your issues, thoughts, feelings, patterns, 'lessons to learn' • identifying what you may wish to change in your thinking, feeling, behaviour, beliefs and outlook, and what you may want to learn to accept about yourself, others, situations etc. • clarifying your meaning in life to fulfil your potential • translating insights into lived and experienced reality.

My approach is holistic counselling and psychotherapy, meaning that in addition to working on your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being, if and when appropriate we will also discuss, how e.g. your stress might show as tension in the body and in turn e.g. give you brain-fog. We will then explore what you can do to help yourself to get out of such cycles.

During the pandemic I have observed, that many people reflect more deeply upon their lives and like to discuss their spiritual side. We can explore the aspects of your soul and spirit you might not show much to others, but where you may have a sense or knowing, that we are more than a body, more than 'a bag of bones'. We can explore your meaning in life and soul purpose, and e.g. how you can integrate some spiritual experiences.

SUMMARY

• Holistic Face-to-Face sessions in a relaxing atmosphere • Skype sessions also available • free off-street parking • Over 30 years experience.

Further: I'm an approved provider for medical healthcare insurances (Aviva, AXA, Cigna, Exeter Family Friends, Helix Health, PruHealth/Vitality Health, WPA).

LANGUAGES: English and German fluently.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: In addition to my private practice, I have trained others at Universities and Colleges. I am a supervisor for clinical practice (trainees as well as established professionals) and offer research supervision.

My first session

I believe its important that you can make an informed choice. Please call me on: (01727) 750088 for a free initial chat (about 10 to 15 minutes). We can discuss your reasons for coming, any questions you might have about my services, qualifications, experiences, or anything you wish to know about counselling and psychotherapy in general.

After the phone call you can take your time to think about it, or book straight away an initial session. The first session is payable and has the same length (45minutes) as subsequent sessions. Our interaction in this initial session will provide you as much as possible with a good understanding what to expect in further sessions.
