Nicola Burgess, BACP

Nicola Burgess is a qualified therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She trained at Derby University and holds a BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling - a Bachelor of Science degree with honours focused on person-centred therapeutic practice - and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Over the course of her practice Nicola has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including relationship difficulties with family, friends or partners, experiences of trauma and abuse from childhood or adulthood, and the impacts of controlling or narcissistic relationships. She also works with clients coping with grief and loss from many causes such as bereavement, divorce, life transitions and other significant endings that can leave people feeling isolated.

Nicola provides help for concerns around motivation, self-esteem and confidence, as well as feelings of loneliness, fear of abandonment or being judged within relationships. Her work extends to a broad spectrum of issues including stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and identity-related matters such as LGBT topics and attachment or adoption-related questions.

Her approach blends client-centred principles with narrative and solution-focused methods, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions and be heard. Nicola emphasizes support and empowerment as clients take the steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life. She is available for sessions Monday to Friday and some early evenings, and remains open to discussing which days and times will best suit each person.
