Who I work with
I work with adults aged 17 and over, offering counselling and psychotherapy in Hendon, NW4 and online across the UK. I provide a thoughtful, non-judgmental space for people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, addiction, stress, and relationship difficulties. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and work towards greater emotional stability, confidence, and fulfilment.
Nicholas has been very understanding about my situation. I have never felt judged or uncomfortable.
He prompts me and helps guide my thinking. I found the whole experience reassuring and professional. I would recommend his service all day long.

How I work
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is integrative and psychodynamic, meaning we explore both present challenges and the deeper patterns that may be shaping them. As a BACP-accredited psychotherapist based in Hendon, I offer therapy sessions in person, online, or by phone. However we meet, the focus is always on helping you better understand yourself, your relationships, and your emotional wellbeing.
The therapy turned my life around.
It gave me the confidence to make my own decisions.

FAQ's
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come to therapy because they feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, struggling in relationships, or simply want more clarity and peace of mind. Therapy offers a confidential space to explore what’s going on at your own pace.
How much does counselling cost in Hendon?
Sessions are £85 for a 50-minute appointment. Sessions are available in person in Hendon, NW4, online, or by phone. A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for cancellations.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Online therapy sessions are available across the UK via secure video call, as well as by phone if preferred. Many clients find online counselling offers greater flexibility while still providing meaningful therapeutic support.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to talk about what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. There’s no pressure to share everything immediately. The aim is simply to begin understanding your situation and whether working together feels right for you.
How often should I attend therapy?
Most people attend therapy once a week, particularly at the beginning, as regular sessions help build continuity and trust. However, frequency can be discussed depending on your needs, availability, and circumstances.
