Inner Path Therapy

Hello, I'm Nicole

​

I'm an integrative trauma counsellor, and I help people move towards a life where they feel free to be completely themselves  with a genuine, settled sense that they are enough, just as they are.

If you're looking for a trauma-informed counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgemental space to explore what you're going through, you're in the right place. Together, we'll work through your challenges, build self-understanding, and create real, lasting change , at a pace that feels right for you.

​

My Approach to Trauma Counselling

​

Trauma doesn't just live in our thoughts , it's held in the body too. That's why calming the nervous system is such an important part of how I work. As your counsellor, I'll walk alongside you as you get to know yourself more deeply, offering practical tools and resources to help you feel calmer, steadier, and more at home in yourself before exploring and integrating the trauma. 

Sessions are relaxed, compassionate, and entirely judgement-free — this is your space to be honest, to process, and to grow.

Being an integrative trauma trained counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including person-centred therapy, somatic, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to shape our work around you, rather than fitting you into a single method. This allows me to adapt our sessions to your specific needs, creating a personalised and effective therapy experience, and where helpful, to work creatively with both mind and body, supporting them to work in harmony with one another. 

Working somatically and creatively allows us to connect with different parts of ourselves and unlock new neurological path ways. 

Sessions are relaxed, compassionate, and entirely judgement-free — this is your space to be honest, to process, and to grow.​

​

I have experience of working with C- PTSD and PTSD, childhood trauma, neglect, abuse and single traumatic experiences.

My Background and Experience

​

Before training as a counsellor, I spent over ten years working in health and social care, which shaped the way I understand and support the people I work with. My background includes:

• Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care

• A Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) qualification

• Ten-plus years' experience supporting adults with learning disabilities

• Extensive work with individuals with ADHD and autism, including support with anxiety, social skills, communication, and emotional and behavioural regulation

• Experience working with secondary-age children, in both school and community settings, offering one-to-one support around self-esteem, emotional regulation, social interactions, and coping strategies

• ​This background means I bring not just clinical training, but real, hands-on experience of supporting neurodivergent individuals and those navigating complex emotional challenges — with genuine patience, understanding, and care.
