Therapeutic Approach
Nicola has an invaluably unique perspective as a Nurse Therapist and considers a client’s physical health status and effects of medication when formulating mental health care.
Nicola’s therapeutic approach is humanistic, incorporating building safety and connection with clients. This approach is heavily informed by neurobiological evidence and well researched psychological interventions.
Nicola’s values include working with empathy, authenticity, honesty, and integrity. She hopes her clients feel free to be their true selves during sessions and be comfortable to express themselves in a way that feels authentic for them. Nicola fully accepts people where they are at and responds with compassion to their pain. Nicola understands that recovery can be challenging and remains consistently encouraging to help people achieve their treatment goals.
Nicola engages in regular clinical supervision to ensure she is reflecting on her practice and providing high quality care. She continues to engage in professional development to ensure her practice is contemporary and to maintain her registration and credentialed status.
