A safe, nurturing space to honour your story, heal from trauma and rediscover the real you
Feeling safe is essential to getting the most out of therapy, especially when you're carrying the weight of past trauma. Painful experiences can leave lasting imprints that make it hard to feel connected, whole or fully present in your life. If trauma is keeping you from embracing who you are or deepening your self-understanding, you're not alone. I'm here to support you. Together, we can gently work through the impact of those experiences in a non-judgmental, trauma-informed space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

About me
Nichola Williams
I am a qualified integrative counsellor based in South London working alongside adults and families.
I offer online and in-person sessions to anyone age 18+ throughout the UK.
I bring extensive experience in supporting individuals and families affected by childhood trauma and sexual abuse, having worked across diverse third-sector organisations and within private practice. For nearly 20 years, I have also provided comprehensive parenting support, delivering courses, workshops and one-on-one guidance to empower parents and strengthen family dynamics.

Dip Couns MBACP
I take an integrative and relational counselling approach, grounded in your unique journey of self-discovery and your innate capacity for growth and healing. Together, we gently explore how the stories written in early relationships and family patterns may still echo through your present-day experiences. I often weave in metaphor, imagery and storytelling to help bring these inner landscapes to life - giving shape and voice to parts of you that may have been silent or unseen. Increasingly, my approach also invites curiosity about the body as a storyteller in its own right. Through somatic awareness, grounding and mindfulness, we learn to listen to the subtle language of sensation and begin to reconnect with your emotional world in a more embodied and compassionate way.
Although I work with all emotional challenges and life experiences, specialist areas include;
Childhood trauma and neglect
Domestic/Sexual violence
Abuse
Parenting challenges
Bullying
Loss, Grief & Bereavement

Nic gives you space to express yourself without pretense. I always feel safe, heard and empowered with her. The non-judgmental, easy going approach makes interactions feel natural, pleasant and fruitful.
Counselling with Nichola was everything I expected it to be. It was a safe space where I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. We moved at a pace I was comfortable at and at no point did I feel pushed to speak about anything I wasn’t ready to.
The environment felt warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental, which helped me feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and emotions. Nichola’s approach made it easy to open up, and her insightful guidance helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself and my situation. She's really helped me in the last couple months and I am so grateful I chose her as my counsellor.
