Hi and Welcome. I'm Nikkie.
My approach
I hugely value traditional therapy and approach it with the belief that you are the expert in you and my job is simply to support you to 'shortcut' a mostly natural process.
However, if therapy is to be truly accessible, it is critical to address the reality that traditional therapy isn't for everyone. This is why I also offer an alternative approach; supporting psychological change by working with you outside of the traditional therapy setting. This might mean placing focus on your home, clothing style, hectic schedule or career.
my Experience
I integrate various psychotherapeutic approaches (Emotional Freedom Technique, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Coaching, Hypnotherapy) to ensure support is centred around your needs and creates lasting change.
I initially trained as a physiotherapist and for the last 8 years have specialised in fatigue conditions, complex relational trauma and chronic stress.
I'm also a trained interior designer, lover of simplicity and passionate about using self-expression to facilitate internal development.
what you can do
Always remember that it's okay, and normal, to be apprehensive about engaging in therapy (whatever that might look like!), particularly if you've never done it before.
So even if you aren't sure if this is for you, why not be brave, reach out and lets chat.
