Group Therapy
When we think of therapy, we often think of one-on-one sessions with a therapist. However, therapy comes in many forms, and one of those forms is group therapy. In group therapy, you can come together with others in a safe space to share your experiences and learn from each other.
Your New Support Network
It can be liberating to share your story with others who have been through similar things, and it can also be helpful to hear how they've coped with their experiences. In group therapy, you'll never be alone in your struggle, which can make all the difference.
Practical Advice
Since everyone in the group is dealing with similar issues, chances are good that someone will have already gone through what you're currently dealing with. Therefore, they can offer guidance and advice based on their own experiences, which can help you navigate your current situation more effectively.
Learning to Cope
Group therapy can help you develop new skills for managing your anxiety, depression, or whatever issue you're struggling with. I will teach you different coping mechanisms and stress-management techniques that you can take home with you and practice daily.
What Can I Expect?
If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or other issues, consider giving group therapy a try. It can be a compelling experience where you can share your experiences with others who understand what you're going through, receive practical advice and guidance, and learn new skills for managing your symptoms.

So glad I found Nicole. From the first time I spoke to her she made me feel very much at ease and it was easy to feel comfortable sharing my anxieties with her. She is very empathetic, generous and gave me a safe space. I am feeling so much better. She has helped me accept and move forwards, leaving behind unhelpful thoughts and habits. I have a better, and kinder understanding of myself and others. No hesitation in recommending

feelings you need to.
I saw Nicole whilst I have going through a hard time with my partner as I needed guidance, advice and just someone to talk too. Nicole gave me tools to help navigate that uncertain time which helped me take control of my life and relationship. I will forever be grateful, thank you.
Her support with all the things that have happened in my life that have knocked my confidence and left me with social anxiety have been ground breaking. I have gained so much power over my own life, as well as I have started to gain confidence to be able to stand up for what I believe in. This has not been an easy road for me. Thank you, so much Nicole. “
I went into hypnotherapy a little nervous, I’m so glad I did as this has helped me massively understanding my anxiety and overcome emetophobia after 30 years of suffering. This has given me confidence in myself and made me realise I am stronger than I believed. So a massive thank you.
Nicole’s help made a huge difference to my confidence and self-esteem. I was in the process of applying for a new job but felt I was held back by my mindset. Nicole’s counselling and hypnotherapy were instrumental in helping me achieve my goals and establish an improvement sense of identity.
I have had sessions with Nicole for numerous different reasons, anxiety, confidence, past experiences. From my first appointment Nicole made me feel so comfortable, she listened and understood and worked with me to find the best ways to help me. I was so nervous about doing hypnotherapy but within minutes of my first session I felt so at ease. I would highly recommend Nicole.
During the time I spent with Nicole, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and heard. When I asked for changes or different approaches, Nicole was completely receptive and listened to what I needed, and tailored the sessions to my preference and helped me explore new avenues and
approaches to healing and confidence.
I found Nicole to be really personable and easy to talk too. She really helped me sort out my issues by discussing my past, present and future. Its sometimes a feeling of being judged that stops us telling our whole truth but with Nicole I felt safe. I was quite shocked at how few sessions I needed
in the end.
At my first appointment I was so nervous, I didn’t know what to expect. Within a few minutes I was at ease by Nicole she made me feel so welcome and has this warm soothing voice. I didn’t feel silly trying to explain why I had come to see her. My personal issues were causing me anxiety, unable to switch off at night, brain overwhelmed. With Nicole’s help I am learning to manage this through relaxation techniques.

Which is best for me, group or one to one?
This is an entirely personal decision. Group sessions can be cheaper, and you will get great support from the group; hearing their experiences, perspectives and coping techniques. However, some people do not like to discuss their issues with a group, and prefer things to be more private. One to one sessions are also totally about you, and are tailored to you. Group sessions are about a group of different people with different needs.
How big are groups?
Depends on the group. However, to ensure that everyone has their say and gets what they need from the group, there are typically less than 10 people in a group.
Are groups face to face or online?
The groups can be either, depending on the demand. Contact me to see if there is a group that will suit you.
Do I have to talk in a group session?
No, there is no obligation to say anything in group sessions. I will however usually check whether you are alright, and encourage you to participate.
Are group sessions confidential?
Yes, everything you say in group sessions is confidential. This is the first thing we will agree on as a group, before any work starts.
