I'm Nicky, a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor running a private practice from my home in Pangbourne.
 
I started my career as a Personnel Manager in a large secondary school and after a while it became clear that the staff appreciated a quiet confidential space in which to share their struggles and worries about work, relationships and home. I relished the opportunity to listen and with the support of the headteacher embarked on my journey to train as a psychotherapist.
 
After a year at Reading University, I studied with the Bridge Pastoral Foundation at Douai Abbey to qualify as an Integrative Psychotherapist.
 
I have been privileged to have gained experience in a broad range of settings:
 
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADOLESCENTS

• No 5 Youth Counselling, Reading: counselling young people (aged 11-19)
• Working for Nick Luxmoore supporting students in a South Oxfordshire Secondary School
