Counselling & Psychotherapy for Trauma, Anxiety, Grief & Life Transitions

Support • Healing • Empowerment

At Nixon Counselling & Psychotherapy, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed counselling and psychotherapy for adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, life transitions and other challenging experiences.

You don’t have to navigate these experiences alone.

You Don’t Have to Have Everything Figured Out

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing and explore what may be contributing to the difficulties you’re facing.

Together, we can explore what is happening and identify approaches that support greater understanding, emotional regulation, confidence and connection.

Areas I Help With

A Trauma-Informed Approach

At Nixon Counselling & Psychotherapy, I recognise that difficult experiences can affect the way we think, feel, behave, relate to others and respond within our bodies.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative and tailored to you. I draw on evidence-informed approaches including Schema Therapy, Somatic Therapy, CBT and attachment-based approaches.
