Meeting Nicola has been the best thing I could have ever done. Having suffered a late miscarriage as well as dealing with severe anxiety and panic attacks, I began to feel like I would never lead a normal life free from overthinking or anxious feelings. I felt like I was falling deeper into a black hole and it was becoming harder to think I’d ever be okay. I’d stopped going out alone, began losing friends and started relying heavily on my husband for support. It was an incredibly lonely time. Nicola uses a range of amazing techniques which are best suited to me and my emotional state at the time. There have been sessions full of tears where she lets me talk through my feelings, as well as sessions where my focus is inner healing and I’m learning techniques on how to cope with the grief of losing a baby – it all really depends on what we both feel is best, which I love as I feel I have a say in my path to healing. I am still in shock that it has only been a few months and I am actually living and loving life! I am beginning to feel like I am a new me and one that is finally facing my anxiety and grief head on. As hard as it is to take that initial step into your healing journey, I can assure you with Nicola you will learn all the tools you need to live a better life in all aspects. I can honestly say she isn’t like other counsellors I have seen and I’m so thankful to Nicola for all the support she has given to me through what was one of the worst times in my life. I’m so excited to see where this life will lead me!
