Nina Cleaver

 I am accepting new clients, I offer in-person and online therapy. I'm available most weekdays and some evenings.

I offer in-depth therapy for real, lasting change. I'm a Psychodynamic & CBT-trained psychotherapeutic counsellor with extensive experience of psychological care. My gold-standard training spans multiple therapy types (see website), allowing optimally individualised therapy. My work is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, an approach that explores how early experiences and unconscious patterns continue to shape our lives today. I integrate classical psychoanalytic thinking with contemporary psychodynamic theory and the latest research, allowing for deep, meaningful therapy within a modern framework.

With over 20 years of experience, I combine psychodynamic insight & clinical depth with broad training in multiple therapeutic approaches. This depth of care and support - with all the potential for lasting change that it holds - is seldom available within the NHS; I am dedicated to making it more widely accessible. No problem is too big, complex, or taboo.

My work comes from a secure foundation of excellent training but more importantly, I genuinely care for each individual I see. It can take courage to reach out, but I will be happy to support you through every step of your therapy journey. Feel free to call or email me to ask questions, and you can also check out my website to find more useful information.

Therapy can be short-term to help you though a current period, or open-ended/longer-term, depending on your individual needs. Therapy sessions cost up to £80, I operate a sliding scale to make quality therapy accessible for lower household incomes. (Fees vary for organisations/insurer referrals)

I offer initial consultations which are 90 minutes long, designed to learn more about a client and their experiences. For clients, this is a helpful chance to find out how it feels to have a session and (if in person) sit with me in the clinic room, and to ask me questions if they have any. Consultations can be booked as standalone appointments, or lead into weekly therapy, as helpful.
