Nicki Richardson

I currently have availability. My usual working hours are between 9.00am - 3.00pm, however I can occasionally offer evening or 8.00am sessions.

In my work as an integrative therapist I respect the individuality of every client.  I aim to form a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship that affords an atmosphere in which clients feel safe to explore their issues. My extensive experience of grief counselling helps clients to process bereavement, loss and trauma. I specialise in pregnancy loss including miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion and fertility issues. 

During my long career as a therapist I have tutored trainee counsellors from level 2 to diploma giving me an understanding of many approaches to counselling. This enables me to competently work both short and long term with most client issues, and as a mature therapist I bring a wealth of rich experience to my practice.

My practice is in my home on a discreet and quiet estate with parking available in my drive. I welcome my clients with the understanding that beginning counselling can be nerve wracking so I help them to feel at ease as quickly as possible.

I charge the same for the first session as for following sessions. This is because I will be working hard to understand what is being brought and to assess how I can help. During this session I will verbally contract with the client to establish the practicalities of our work which include timing, payment and confidentiality.
