Nic Blackwell

My Master's degree was based on integrative therapy - drawing on a number of different approaches, depending on the needs of the client. I have been counselling for over 30 years. Clients have brought a wide range of issues over the years. Latterly I have worked with clients experiencing addictions or compulsions, drawing on and expanding on the experience of working in a residential drug/alcohol rehabilitation unit.

My approach to the counselling depends on the nature of the work the client wants to do. Clients start by telling me about themselves and the issues they bring. I listen to the content of their life stories, but also for hints arising from their use of language and imagery as to what counselling model would be best suited to them

Email or ring me to set an appointment. I would be happy to have a brief phone call before booking an appointment so that I can get an overview of the issues involved.
