About Nicola Dove

Nicola Dove is a UK-qualified client-centred counsellor (MBACP) who holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling. The MBACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and the BA (Hons) reflects an undergraduate honours degree in integrative counselling practice.

She offers a flexible, tailored counselling approach, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to suit each individual. Nicola works with adults facing a wide variety of challenges, including bereavement, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship breakdowns, intense grief, communication difficulties and patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them.

Nicola recognises that there are moments when life feels overwhelming and finding a way forward can seem impossible. Beginning counselling can feel daunting - many people worry they should cope alone or that talking to friends is enough - and Nicola works to normalise that step and provide an empathic, non-judgemental space. Her aim is to help clients reduce anxiety in social situations, express their needs, improve sleep, and work through guilt, shame and old behavioural patterns.

She believes seeking counselling is a demonstration of strength and an investment in wellbeing. Counselling with Nicola is intended not only to support recovery from distress but also to help people build resilience and move toward a more fulfilling life. The professional relationship she offers is focused entirely on the client - listening without judgement, avoiding unsolicited advice, and centring the client’s needs.

Nicola chose this profession after experiencing counselling herself at a personal crossroads. That experience inspired her to support others through their own difficult periods. Over the years she has witnessed meaningful change and the capacity for resilience that people can discover through therapeutic work.
