Budding Thoughts Therapy
Online Counselling with Nicola

Nurturing Minds, Growing Together

Hello, I’m Nicola.

​

You don’t have to work through it alone.

​

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you may not always know exactly what’s wrong or what you need help with. Perhaps you don’t feel quite yourself, you’re feeling anxious, low, stuck or overwhelmed, or you’re struggling to make sense of a particular situation.

​

Reaching out for support can be an important first step. You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin. Sometimes, having a safe space to pause, talk and make sense of things can be enough to start feeling differently.

​

I offer a supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel heard. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing at your own pace and find a way forward that feels right for you.

​

I can support you with a range of issues, including:

​

Anxiety

Stress

Neurodiversity

Low mood and depression

Burnout and work-related stress

Bereavement and loss

Isolation

Relationships

Carer support

Sexuality

Self-esteem

Life changes and transitions

People-pleasing

Estrangement

My Practice

​

I offer a private, welcoming and non-judgemental space for one-to-one counselling. You can talk openly about whatever is going on for you, without needing to have everything figured out.

​

I work mainly with Transactional Analysis (TA), an approach that can help us understand our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and how these shape the way we relate to ourselves and others.

​

I believe the relationship we build is an important part of therapy. My aim is to work collaboratively with you, helping you make sense of your experiences and explore what matters to you.

​

I currently offer counselling remotely via Google Meet.
 

I’m an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS (Acc)) and a member of the UK Association of Transactional Analysis.
