Nicole Rice

I offer individual weekly sessions from Monday to Thursday. Please get in touch to discuss availability.

I offer an initial free fifteen minute telephone discussion to see if I feel like the right counsellor for you, it is important we feel we can work together and you feel comfortable to share with me. If you wish to proceed we can arrange an initial session.

I am an integrative therapist, with a focus on mind and body connection. I have an understanding of different theories which will be applied throughout each session. With an understanding of trauma and how it can remain in the body we will work together to rejoin mind and body.

My journey to becoming a counsellor has included working within the care sector and in schools, with those who have learning disabilities, ASD and ADHD. I completed my initial counselling training levels 2-4 before undertaking my level six trauma training.

Each session will be tailored to you, what works for one client may not for another and this is an important part of our relationship, offering a flexible approach to support your individual needs.

Therapy is a collaborative process, together we create a safe space free from judgement to explore what is present. Exploring elements of stress, anxiety, depression or other issues. I may offer mindfulness or grounding techniques to support you to feel more stable in life. It is not my role to provide advice or answers, I believe you have the ability to find what you are seeking when we create an environment you feel safe to do so.

I provide online sessions via zoom, long and short term as required by you.

Sessions are on a weekly basis, at the same time/day each week. We will agree a suitable time and day for your session.

We can regularly review the sessions to ensure you are receiving what you need, at times a may offer you something which you do not feel is right for your needs, it is absolutely ok to say no when this happens. 

The initial session is the chance for you to explain your situation, we may have discussed briefly in the telephone conversation, it's an opportunity to explore the therapy space and settle into the room. At this stage you have all the information about your current circumstances.

It's an opportunity for us to discuss our working agreement, as with any professional relationship there are boundaries and a contract, this ensures your safety, and we are both aware of our expectations.

The initial session allows us to ensure we are a good fit, that we can work together in person and feel comfortable in the space together.

Life's path can be windy and uncertain, where and who do you turn to when there are areas you cant resolve? Counselling is the opportunity to discuss with someone without judgement or advice. Instead we will create a relationship where you will be free to make your own choices and decisions which benefit you. Have you ever wondered who you could be? Where you're heading or why life hasn't been how you would have liked? Let's take time and be curious about what's happening? I am able to provide short or long term counselling to suit your individual needs. Throughout the sessions we focus on your topic to provide inner calm.

I am an integrative trauma counsellor and believe you have the ability to come to your own conclusions, I will walk with you on your journey to become curious about what you are experiencing, focusing on both mind and body, working somatically and with parts of self to offer insights and gain new way of supporting your own growth.

I understand how daunting sharing your inner world can be with another, the relationship is built with non judgement, to explore what is most important to you. I offer kindness and compassion to support you on this journey. Through working with mind and body you are able to become connected and be able to make positive changes outside of the therapy room.

Being an integrative trauma counsellor means I have understanding of different theories and these can be used in our work together. With person centred at the core of my approach the relationship we build is one where you feel heard, feelings are validated and understood. 

Different theories we may use include: internal family systems (IFS), Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) , psychodynamic, somatic and attachment theory.

I work creatively, I may offer the use of the sand tray or using rocks, shells or cards. This allows us to maybe see things differently, it can also be an opportunity to slow down what is happening and recognise the body response. Working with both body and mind supports our system to realign. 

I am trained in a three stage trauma model, stabilisation, processing and integration. When considering stabilisation this is ensuring your nervous system is calm and has an understanding of safety to return to. We will work at your pace. Using mindfulness, somatic experiences and creative resources. 

Stage two is processing the trauma, working in the current day situation with an awareness of how our past experiences activate our system now. 

Stage three is allowing this new way of experiencing to settle in your system and taking it into relationships, with healthier boundaries and supportive skills. 

We cannot change what has happened to us but we can change how we process it in our daily lives and its impact now.
