Nisa Burston

My name is Nisa and I am a psychotherapist working with adult individuals online and face to face.

People start therapy for many different reasons. You may feel dissatisfied or distressed, want to explore the past, process difficult life events, achieve new goals or just learn more about yourself. Psychotherapy can be a life-changing experience.

To facilitate self-awareness, I place particular attention in developing a trusting, safe and collaborative relationship. In this supportive environment, we will work as a team to develop a shared understanding of your difficulties and identify how these difficulties affect your thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, feelings and daily functioning. 

My approach to therapy is Integrative, meaning I pull on a range of tools from different modalities to fit my client's unique circumstances. I draw from different psychological modalities, including relational, psychodynamic, and existential.

Ultimately, my main focus is you, and for this reason I tailor the type of therapy to the individuals’ needs and presenting issues.

Whilst not limited to, below are examples of client issues I have helped with:

- Complex family and marital dynamics

- Trauma and cPTSD

- Helping clients establish a stronger sense of self, while working on lack of confidence and low self esteem

- Anger management

- Anxiety and depression

- Processing major life events

Our first meeting will be held online which will consist of understanding your reasons for wanting therapy and jointly deciding whether we can work well together.

The more open and honest you are the greater the eventual benefit is likely to be for you. You will be encouraged to ask questions, so it may be a good idea to think carefully about what you would like to know, your expectations from therapy and how we can best work together. If you are new to therapy and don't know what to expect, that is ok too, we will be working together to establish your therapeutic goals.

Subsequent sessions will be on a weekly basis. These sessions will generally be on the same day and at the same time each week.

If we decide it is a good fit for us to work together, I will email over my contract where more specific details are written around the framework of us working together.
