John Nicol

I am a down to earth ( Not Fluffy ) , warm, empathic counsellor, who will work with you without judgement. Our work together is confidential , and I offer a safe place in which we can explore your feelings and emotions and the impact of them on us and how we can make the changes we desire.

The hardest part starting counselling is making that first contact , I will make this as easy , simple and painless as I can. Look forward to hearing from you , John

Counselling Xtra

ISAS (Incest and Sexual Abuse Survivors)

DWC ( Derby Womens Centre)

DMS ( Derby Mens Service) .

West Notts College Mansfield with 16 - 18 year old Students. 

IN the first session its a chance for us to meet each other and see if we feel we can work together. 

The first 10 mins I will talk about how I work and cover the details of  the way I work , such things as confidentiality , Working Agreement , cancellation policy .

I will ask you to give me a general idea of why you are looking to engage a therapist and what aspects of your life you would like us to work on .

After that I will ask you what you are looking for from counselling and How you would be able to tell if our sessions were giving you what you need.

I suggest a phone call first , its amazing how much you can get from hearing a persons voice and it will make it much easier when  we meet face to face in the future
