Why attend psychotherapy with Nick?
Psychological suffering or destructive behaviour when misunderstood and repeated can cause us, and others in relationship with us, heartache, frustration and despair and some of us reach a point where we wish things to change. Alongside this wish we often realise that this change is difficult to make by ourselves.
It is my training, my intent and my dedicated practice to take time to carefully understand your suffering in detail, whether it be a single current dilemma or longer term issues. I will help you discover in a non-judgemental, kind and private space, a more capable and content way for you to be in the world.
My approach:
I practice short and long term psychotherapy as per my Master of Psychotherapy training and work with clients to help them understand how their quality of life has evolved in relation to their unique backgrounds, relationships, circumstances and life events. I am curious as to why things are not going as well as they could be for you, and optimistic about how we can work together so they may change.
My approach is to listen, and to respect your individual needs and desires; warmth, genuine concern, trust, kind attendance and acceptance are the cornerstones of my practice as is a dedication to authentic and direct communication.
As outcomes of psychotherapy with me you can expect improved relationships, a more authentic confidence, increased capacity to deal with life’s ups and downs and greater understanding of and better tools to work with your anxieties.
