I am Nicola Woods, a qualified and accredited Mindfulness-based psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and a Transformational and Leadership Coach, providing weekly online sessions. I am passionate about the power of therapy in helping us reconnect with our true authentic selves, by developing greater self-awareness, compassion and acceptance. As your therapist I will meet you where you are, with kindness, compassion, and non-judgement. We will work together to unpack and transform the relational patterns and beliefs that might be getting in the way of you living your life fully and authentically.

Treatment Approach
- Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: My approach is humanistic and integrative. I work in a mindful, embodied and relational way, drawing on my core training in Mindfulness-based psychotherapy, psychodynamic therapy, parts work and EMDR therapy. We will pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgement, bringing present moment awareness to the coping mechanisms and relational patterns that may have once kept you safe as a little one but are now a getting in the way of you living your life fully.
I work with a variety of clients and will tailor my approach according to the needs of you, the client. I work with clients who experience a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, addiction and substance abuse, chronic pain and fatigue, overwhelming feelings of shame, anger, sadness and loneliness, imposter syndrome, to having a strong inner critic and tendency to people please, loss and bereavement.
