Karina Nickson
Hello and welcome. I am a BACP Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with over 16 years of experience supporting clients. I am based in Sheffield for in person appointments and online and over the telephone across the UK.
When you are feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, just getting through the day can feel difficult. Coping with emotional problems can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. I have a range of counselling services to suit everybody.
I offer appointments to individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am a psychodynamically and integratively trained counsellor and psychotherapist which means that we can work together to build a tool kit of strategies and skills to help you day-to-day whilst exploring the root cause of your difficulties.
Counselling looks different for each person. No two counselling relationships are the same. My flexible and inclusive approach helps me to tailor our sessions to fully meet your requirements.
Ways to work together
Consultation – The first step to working together is to book a free telephone consultation. This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have and to tell me a little about what is bringing you to counselling at this point. If you decide you would like to work together, we can then book your first session.
Face to face – In person counselling sessions are available from my peaceful therapy rooms in Broomhill, Sheffield. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering an ideal setting to explore your difficulties.
Online/Telephone – I offer online and telephone appointments from my home office in the Peak District. Whether you are looking to work regularly online or over the telephone or wish to add this flexibility to your in-person appointments, I can accommodate this.
Experience
I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 9 years’ experience in general counselling practice, alongside more than 16 years’ therapeutic experience as a Complementary Therapist.
I have supported people presenting with a wide range of difficulties, including trauma, grief, loss, bereavement, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, low confidence, family difficulties, relationship issues, domestic abuse, and neurodivergence. I have significant experience working with individuals affected by complex and developmental trauma, those in end‑of‑life care and people navigating pre and post bereavement and loss. I have also worked extensively with survivors of domestic abuse, and veterans offering safe, trauma‑informed therapeutic support.
In addition to my clinical work, I have previously lectured for the University of Derby (Buxton) on their Counselling Diploma Course.
