Nicole Bacchus

I am available on Mondays and Tuesdays during the day

• In-person in E18 or IG6 in a private therapy room
• Online (you can be based anywhere in the UK)

I am dual-trained in counselling and coaching. Combining these two approaches allows for a deeper understanding of what’s going on and why, and, in time, a focus on what could be different.

I specialise in helping clients with:

• Stress, anxiety, and burnout
• Low mood, confidence, and self-esteem
• Identity and values
• Life transitions: career changes, redundancy, new parenthood, relationship changes and upheaval due to planned and unplanned events

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in financial, professional, and technology services, helping individuals navigate change and build resilience. I understand the pressures that come with demanding roles, and the challenge of finding balance in a busy world.

My Qualifications

• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
• PGDip in Integrative Counselling and Coaching 
• MA in Personnel & Development
• Certificate in Counselling Skills
• Certificate in Coaching & Mentoring
• BA in Social Science

I often work with people who are seeking clarity, confidence, and direction - those who want to reconnect with their values, feel more in control, and move towards a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and values-based. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore what matters most, build self-awareness, and make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I see clients in a private therapy room in South Woodford (minutes from the tube station) or in Barkingside (a short walk from Fairlop and Barkingside stations). Online clients can be based anywhere in the UK.

Finding the right fit for you is imperative to making the changes you'd like to see in your life. To discuss how we could work together, send me an email, book a free 20 minute consultation or visit my website and use the contact form.

I'll be in touch within two working days and we can talk through -

• What has led you to seek support now?
• What are you looking for from a counsellor and what would you like to change?
• Previous experience of therapy/coaching
• General questions about wellbeing and current support
• You can ask me anything which is of importance to you in deciding whether you wish to proceed with me

If after this initial conversation we both agree there is a good possibility that I can offer the support you need, I will suggest that we meet for a full initial session in which we can speak in more detail.
