Qualifications | Certificates

My approach

I use an integrated approach of counselling, and coaching. I seamlessly and intuitively blend various therapeutic models such as Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focused, hypnosis with psychological education to create a bespoke therapy to suit your needs, help you fulfil your potential and achieve your goals.

We will look at Past You and any issues that impact on your current situation. We will explore Future You and your goals and aspirations. We will discover how Present You can make a difference to Past and Future you.

The therapeutic model of counselling ‘being with’ alongside the coaching ‘doing with’ helps bring about personal growth as well as beneficial and lasting change.

Hypnosis can help enhance the positive outcome as it allows you to inwardly focus your attention, using your imagination, to help you gain more clarity.

Testimonials

“Niki made me comfortable straight away - she is warm and welcoming and I felt at ease talking to her. She effortlessly blended counselling and coaching for me and helped me talk through issues from my past but also helped me move forwards. I came to Niki feeling jumbled and not understanding what I want out of life and work. She helped me unravel my thoughts, gain clarity about what I want, and I came out feeling happier and that I have the confidence to make further changes.”

“My phobia of sick has controlled my life since I was a little girl ... and I lost everything. My freedom, my ability to finish or even enjoy food. I lost myself for a while. ... I couldn’t sleep because I would be in a panic attack. After a handful of sessions with you, I was able to find myself again. I’m free from the anxiety, free from that little voice in my head telling me all food was dangerous. You have really helped me gain CONTROL of my mind again. I cannot thank you enough for all of your help. ”
