It was such a comfort to share my struggles with Nicola and to know that I had a safe, understanding, non judgmental space for myself and a sympathetic, listening ear. My counselling with Nicola was at a very difficult time when I was juggling several big life challenges simultaneously and felt quite helpless. It was very helpful for me to have a regular time to check in and share how things were going and any new difficulties. Our counselling sessions calmed me down and really helped me to have a more balanced perspective, to be kinder to myself and to see things more clearly.
