About Nicola
Nicola Martin helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related worries. She supports those coping with major life changes and the difficult emotions that follow. Nicola brings a calm, practical approach to conversations about what feels overwhelming.
She is a BACP counsellor - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is shown as BACP. Nicola describes herself as an integrative counsellor, drawing on several different models to meet each person’s needs.
Background and approach
That means sessions can include practical coping strategies alongside longer conversations about patterns and past hurts. Clients come to Nicola with low mood, panic, anxiety, feeling unheard in relationships, or after experiences of sexual assault. She offers a space to talk through where these feelings may come from and to try small steps that reduce their impact.
Sessions are described as non-judgemental and focused on understanding what is happening now. Nicola also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, control and commitment worries, jealousy, guilt and shame, and problems connected to illness or caring roles. She has experience in mental health settings and supporting people through relationship breakdown and separation.
Her style is straightforward and empathic. Nicola aims to help people clarify what they want to change and to practise manageable strategies between sessions. To begin, follow the site process for matching and scheduling, and confirm the current session formats before booking.
