Nicola Landless

I currently have some availability for daytime/evening appointments online/over the phone Mon-Thurs

I am a qualified Humanistic Counsellor.  I have been in private practice for 11 years.   I offer both short term and long term therapy.  I have also worked for charities supporting clients with sexual trauma.

A key feature of my work is establishing a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients. I believe that people can heal and grow when they feel understood and accepted without judgment. This safe, empathetic space is essential for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly.  

My approach is often flexible and tailored to the individual client. I may integrate different techniques such as creative exercises (e.g., art, journaling) to help clients express themselves in new ways. The idea is to explore options that help clients feel more connected to themselves and to their feelings in a deeper way.

I may also incorporate mindfulness or present-moment awareness into your sessions. Encouraging clients to stay in the present moment helps them connect with their feelings and experiences, without getting overwhelmed by past or future worries.

I currently offer remote sessions via Zoom or phone sessions.  I work Monday-Thursday up until 8pm.

I have been in practice for 11 years and have helped many clients with issues such as (but not limited to) low mood, anxiety/depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement/loss, childhood related problems, sexual abuse , bullying and low self-esteem.

To begin with I normally work with clients on a weekly basis at the same time each week.

I will work with you at your own pace. Some clients may feel they only need 6 sessions, and some clients may need 12+.

As you'd expect from a Humanistic Counsellor, I work in a very non-judgmental, empathic, open way and hold a safe space for you to explore what you need to.

As part of our first session, I will do an assessment, to gain a better understanding of where you are currently, and what you would like help with/to gain from counselling. This session normally takes just over an hour. Further sessions after this will be 50 minutes long.

Before we start our work together, I will ask you to read through and sign my Counsellor/client agreement, which provides more information on how I work, confidentiality, costs and a link to the Â鶹ԭ´´.
