Availability

I currently have availability for new clients and will do my best to offer a regular time that suits your schedule. I offer both face-to-face sessions in Surrey and online sessions via Zoom.

Appointments are available Monday to Friday, including some evening slots. I aim to respond to all enquiries within one working day.

If you're considering therapy and want to check availability or ask any questions, you're very welcome to get in touch. I also offer a free 15-minute phone call to explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

I’ll update this section if I plan to take any extended leave or if my availability changes significantly.

About me and my therapy practice

Feeling stuck, anxious, low, or unsure where to start? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I’m Nic, a pragmatic, dual-accredited therapist offering private, face-to-face sessions from a quiet garden studio in Surrey, with flexible online therapy also available via Zoom.

I specialise in helping adults with anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma, obsessive thoughts, and being overwhelmed emotionally—whether for the first time or something that keeps returning. Many of the people I work with are new to therapy, unsure what to expect, or wondering if their struggles are “serious enough” for counselling. Whether it’s a sudden crisis or something that’s been building over time, therapy can help create breathing space—and a way forward.

Sessions are grounded, structured, and shaped around your individual needs. I combine person-centred therapy with evidence-based tools from CBT and DBT—balancing reflective space with practical strategies. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on and begin to build the skills and self-understanding to help you move forward.

I’m accredited by both BACP and SfDBT, with a Master's in Psychotherapy, a degree in Psychology, and postgraduate diplomas in counselling and behavioural therapy. My practice has been formally reviewed and approved by senior clinicians, and I also bring hospital-level experience from my work in clinical mental health services.

Many of my clients are first-time therapy seekers—sometimes encouraged by a partner or GP, other times reaching out after months of pushing through. I aim to make those first steps feel less daunting by offering a steady, compassionate space where nothing is too small or too much to bring into the room.

Therapy with me is collaborative, not clinical. It’s about making sense of what’s happening in a way that feels clear and human, so you can begin to feel more in control—and more like yourself again.

Practice description

I offer private, face-to-face therapy in a quiet, self-contained garden studio in Surrey, with flexible Zoom sessions also available for those who prefer online support. The space is calm, private, and purpose-built for focused, uninterrupted work—with curb-side parking for added ease and discretion.

I work with adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma, and stress, including those feeling overwhelmed emotionally or stuck in repeating patterns. Many of my clients are new to therapy, uncertain whether their issues are “serious enough” to seek support. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and therapy can still help.

My practice is grounded, structured, and collaborative. I draw from person-centred therapy, CBT, and DBT-informed tools—balancing space to reflect with evidence-based strategies for change. I’m dual-accredited and have experience across both private and clinical mental health settings, supporting individuals with a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.

You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal. We begin wherever you are and work at a pace that feels manageable and human. My aim is to support you in finding steadier ground, improving emotional regulation, and regaining a sense of clarity, confidence, and control.

Whether you're navigating life transitions, burnout, panic attacks, or the ripple effects of trauma, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening and create a way forward that works for you.

My first session

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, but it’s also a powerful move towards better mental health.

Before our first session, we’ll have a free introductory call to explore what’s been going on for you and how I might be able to help. It’s simply a space to see if we’re a good fit.

If we decide to move forward, I’ll offer a regular weekly time, and we’ll shape the process together from there.

In our first session, I’ll ask about your background, current challenges, and what you’re hoping for from therapy. We’ll also talk through any questions you have about the process. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal—just a sense that something isn’t working is enough.

Sessions last 45 to 50 minutes and are grounded, structured, and collaborative—designed to support you in finding steadiness, clarity, and a way forward that feels manageable. We’ll review progress regularly to make sure the work stays relevant and useful to you.
