Ekaterina Nikolaeva
I am a fully qualified Humanistic Counsellor drawing on Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis approaches. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its Ethical Framework, which places compassion and profound respect for each individual’s unique lived experience at the centre of therapeutic work. My work starts with building a trusting connection where you can express your worries without fearing judgment or shame. This is your safe space. I listen deeply to help bring unconscious patterns to light. As they emerge, I use modern psychotherapy techniques to help you process your experiences, find relief, and move forward with clarity. Whatever the situation, question, feeling, or life event brings you here today, be assured that every part of your story is welcomed and will be handled with care and respect during our work together.
My experience includes working with clients who face difficulties with: relationships loneliness understanding of self, identity, and self-worth neurodiversity (including ADHD, Autism) burnout immigration and cross-cultural issues infertility chronic illness (living with, or caring for) invisible disability loss bereavement trauma depression and anxiety My corporate background supports my understanding of work-related issues such as burnout, performance anxiety, bullying, and work-life balance. My life experience of living in different countries and cultures informs my understanding of challenges related to immigration and cross-cultural relationships (be it romantic, with families, or at work). I am a neurodiversity-affirming practitioner; I view neurodivergence as a natural trait of human diversity and fully welcome all of its expressions in the therapeutic space.
