Nicola Purcell

I currently have a short waiting list - 

Life can be a struggle at times, so time spent taking care of yourself is precious but so important for long term well being.  I am a person-centred counsellor and am also trained in Emotion focused therapy so can help you using either or a blend of both, as your needs dictate. 

I work with adults (over 18 yrs) and use focusing and Emotion Focused Therapy to get deep into your emotion world to where the "core pain" is and try and help you explore and hopefully transform the pain into something better, so you can go forward feeling lighter and more at ease with yourself. 

Everyone is different and special so whatever your needs l will do my upmost to help you however l can. If it sounds like l am the right therapist for you then please reach out and give me a call, l’m looking forward to meeting you.
