}What to Expect from Counselling
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re living with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, for whatever reason. Opening up about how you’re feeling isn’t easy, particularly if you worry about not being heard or understood. You don’t have to face it alone.
I’m Niki, and my counselling services, near Woodbridge in Suffolk, are here to support you in finding your way forward.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace. I’m available when you need support and for as long as you need it.
Counselling with me takes place in a calm, welcoming environment, either online or in my peaceful garden therapy room. It’s a discreet and comfortable alternative to clinical waiting rooms, carefully designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back, develop coping strategies, and build a deeper understanding of your emotions. My aim is to empower you to take control of your mental health and move towards a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Reaching out for support is a powerful first step, so when you’re ready, we can begin that journey together.

Counselling Services FAQ's
Are your services confidential
Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental part of the counselling process. Everything you share during our sessions is treated with respect and kept private.
There are, however, a small number of exceptions required by law and ethical guidelines. Confidentiality may need to be broken if there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or in certain legal circumstances. Wherever possible, this would always be discussed with you first.
If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality, I will be happy to talk this through with you
