Nadine Parker

I have availability Mon - Fri evenings, Thursday & Friday daytimes and Saturday mornings. 

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain of your direction. Perhaps self-doubt has crept in, leaving you feeling stuck, or it has become difficult to make sense of your thoughts and emotions. You might be someone who holds things together on the outside, while feeling lost, unsettled or disconnected.

I offer a warm, calm,  non-judgmental, safe space where you can speak freely and be met with care and understanding. Therapy can provide a place where you don’t have to explain everything perfectly or pretend to be okay. Instead, together we can gently explore what’s happening for you, at your own pace - supporting you to gain greater clarity. Deepen your self awareness, and build a more grounded sense of confidence.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches depending on your individual needs. This means I work flexibly and collaboratively, supporting you in a way that feels right for you. I see therapy as a shared process, where we work together to understand your experiences and support meaningful and lasting change.

I have a background in the creative arts along with extensive experience working with clients in the creative and media fields as well as within universities, supporting young adults. I understand some of the unique challenges that can arise in creative environments, including self-doubt, questions around identity, comparison, and pressure. At the same time, I warmly welcome clients from all backgrounds, whether or not you identify as creative.

I work with adults and young people, and support clients with a range of difficulties, including:

• Anxiety and overthinking

• Low self-esteem and self-confidence

• Feeling stuck or lost

• Stress and burnout

• Relationship difficulties

• Identity and life transitions

It is important to acknowledge that you do not need to be in crisis to come into therapy. Many people seek therapy because they want to understand themselves better or feel more at ease in their lives.

I understand that reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you have never had therapy before. I aim to provide a safe, respectful, and confidential space where you can feel heard and supported at your own pace.

If you feel that working together might be helpful, you are very welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial session or ask any questions.

I offer a free introductory call for 20 mins to discuss what’s on your mind without any commitment. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, discuss your goals, and get a sense of whether my approach feels right for you. During this session I will explain how I work, listen to your concerns, and outline how future sessions might help.
