Nicola Burgess, BACP

Nicola Burgess is a United Kingdom based therapist with seven years of professional experience who trained with a BSc(Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling from Derby University and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing a broad range of concerns, from relationship difficulties with family, friends or partners, to trauma and abusive or narcissistic relationships. Nicola has supported clients through grief and loss in many forms, including bereavement, divorce and other life transitions, and she is experienced in helping people who struggle with motivation, self-worth, confidence and feelings of isolation.

Her practice addresses a wide spectrum of issues such as anxiety, stress, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career concerns, as well as attachment and adoption-related needs. Nicola provides a warm, empathic space where thoughts and emotions can be explored without judgment, offering listening and practical support to help clients feel understood and clearer about their next steps. She aims to empower people to build greater self-acceptance and resilience, drawing on person-centred principles to centre each person’s experience.

Nicola works Monday to Friday with some early evening availability and is open to discussing which days and times will suit individual needs. She encourages taking the first step toward change and remains committed to supporting and empowering clients throughout their therapeutic journey. She often cites Carl Rogers: "The ultimate goal is not perfection, but self acceptance and self love."
