Nicola is a qualified integrative Counsellor and psychotherapist. She is a member of the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (IACP) and adheres to their code of ethics. Nicola works in a Humanistic and Integrative way, which means she combines various theoretical approaches such as person-centred, Reality therapy, Existentialism, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She works collaboratively with the client.

Nicola has worked for the charity SoSad in Drogheda, where she has had experience working with clients experiencing depression, loss, trauma, post-natal depression, suicidal ideation, suicide bereavement, homicide bereavement, anxiety and life transitions.

Life is not always easy or straightforward; sometimes we can face challenges and life transitions along the way. Nicola's aim is to be able to support her clients through these challenges. She has an understanding of life challenges and transitions, and witnessing the positive effect therapy has on people is one of the reasons she became a therapist. Nicola provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where clients can explore areas of concern in their lives and look at options for improvement and wellbeing. She approaches her work from a place of empathy, understanding and compassion.
