About Me and My Practise

Hi there, I am Emily Nicholls Counselling. I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering counselling and psychotherapy sessions. I aim to offer warm, inclusive, and empathic support via the three theories: Person Centred Theory, Attachment Theory and Cognitive Behavioural Theory. 

I began working therapeutically one-to-one with clients in March 2021 and have worked in various educational settings within Stoke-On-Trent over the past two and a half years providing therapeutic support to young people. I have worked with numerous young people and adults therapeutically and have experience working with a wide range of topics and presenting issues. I am a proud LGBTQIA+ ally and have worked closely with the community via one-to-one counselling and facilitating groups and events. I am also Neurodivergent (ADHD) and have spent time working therapeutically with other neurodivergent people including those experiencing ADHD, Autism and Dyspraxia. I am open to making reasonable adjustments if needed and endeavour to understand your unique needs.

I view myself as a relational counsellor meaning the therapeutic relationship is a key component to the way I support my clients. My approach to support is via building a genuine therapeutic connection via a humanistic method with the aim of you feeling cared for, safe and heard.  If you feel this type of therapeutic support may suit you needs, please contact me or book your free 30 minute consultation session using the options above.

I attend regular supervision; I have my own insurance. I am a BACP Individual member meaning I follow their ethical guidelines and principals (Member ID: 00964924).

Currently only offering support to 18+
