Nicola Dove, BACP

Nicola Dove is a UK-qualified client-centred counsellor and a member of the BACP with five years of clinical experience. She offers a flexible, person-focused approach that draws on multiple techniques to meet each individual where they are and tailor support to their specific needs. Nicola works with adults facing a wide range of difficulties including bereavement, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Her practice also gives attention to related concerns such as abandonment, body image and codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, eating and food-related issues, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, panic attacks, self-harm, self-love and social anxiety. Nicola recognises that there are times when life feels overwhelming and that reaching out for support can be a courageous step toward change. She creates a non-judgmental space in which people can explore old patterns, learn new coping strategies and begin to rebuild a sense of agency.

Nicola’s commitment to the profession grew from her personal experience of counselling at a difficult crossroads in life. That experience inspired her to train and to support others through their own journeys, witnessing resilience and gradual change over time. Her work is grounded in empathy, respect and collaboration, with an emphasis on helping people reclaim balance and move toward a more fulfilling life.
