Nicola Murray

Nicola aims to help clients find practical ways to cope and reconnect with their sense of self. She trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, often called CBT, and uses it alongside other approaches to suit each person.

Sessions are collaborative - Nicola listens first, then helps set small, realistic steps. That might mean practising new ways of thinking, trying different communication skills, or learning tools to manage strong emotions.

Nicola has particular experience with intimacy and relationship patterns, anger, trust issues, ADHD and obsessive-compulsive concerns. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, career strain, parenting pressures and caring roles.

Nicola can help with sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, and coping after separation or loss. The Gottman Method features in her work when the focus is on how partners talk and reconnect.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns formed in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques may be offered to build values-led actions alongside symptom management.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Nicola uses a conversational, down-to-earth style and a step-by-step pace that fits people who want practical change as well as emotional understanding.
