Hello, I am Niki,

I have a warm, caring, genuine and honest personality. I am people person, who has a passion for helping others improve their current situation to have a more fulfilled and meaningful life. I believe counselling needs to be a down to earth experience, I believe in an equal relationship between client and counsellor. I will not judge, place my opinions or beliefs on you, but walk beside you in your journey in therapy. I offer a professional service and am flexible, adapting the work to meet your needs.

I am a person-centred counsellor which means the therapy is led by you at your pace. The relationship we build is important to make you feel safe, listened to, and able to explore what is troubling you so you can identify changes that can improve your situation. I am interested in Abuse and Trauma, childhood attachment, personality disorders and carry out pre-trial work, as well as many others issues.
