Nicola Burgess

Nicola Burgess is a UK-based therapist who has practised for seven years after completing a BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling at Derby University, a bachelor’s degree with honours focused on person-centred approaches. She has worked with people facing a wide range of difficulties, including relationship problems with family, friends or partners, and those who have endured traumatic events in childhood or adulthood, including abuse and narcissistic relationships.

Nicola also supports people who are grieving - whether that grief follows the death of a loved one or the loss of something significant such as divorce, the end of friendships, or life changes like menopause. She works with clients who seek help with motivation, self-esteem or self-worth, confidence, or simply the need to be heard. Many of her clients have felt judged or alone within their relationships, or overwhelmed by loneliness and the fear of losing important people in their lives.

She offers an open, safe and empathic space in which clients can explore thoughts and feelings together, with the assurance they will be heard without judgement. Nicola describes therapy as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life, and she is committed to supporting and empowering clients throughout that journey.

Nicola works Monday to Friday and offers some early evening appointments. She is open to discussing which days and times will work best for each client.
