Nicola Edworthy, BACP

Great at working out what I need on each session. Sometimes I can be pressed to open up more which is done with great support, sometimes I just need a good rant and that is calmly accepted also. Great experience with Nicola.

Nicola has such a kind heart. She’s really helped me this past year. Chatting to her feels like chatting to a close friend about all my problems, our chats don’t feel forced. She always makes me feel comfortable and safe.
Thank you Nic x

Im so happy I found Nicola for therapy at a time when I really needed help to get myself out of a dark phase of my life. Nicola is amazing. She provides unconditional positive regard, holds me accountable and challenges the negative views I have of myself. Nicola usually checks in with me throughout the week to see how I am and provides me with suitable work to do in between sessions. Nicola is the perfect therapist, she’s understanding, empathetic, non judgmental and caring. It always amazes me how she provides me with another perspective on situations that I hadn’t thought of. I feel really grateful she’s my therapist, thanks Nic! :)

This was my second therapist with Better Help and I couldn’t be happier with Nicola, immediately I found her easy to talk to, which helped me to feel more comfortable sharing. She makes me feel heard and pushes me to work on things that are easily avoided. She reaches out to check in and encourages me to do the same. I am very grateful to have found her. I’ve always believed therapy was important and can help everyone, but when you find the correct person for you, it’s amazing how you can get so much more out of it and work towards becoming a better version of yourself. She’s helped my confidence with life changing decisions I’ve made and she continues to help me heal from past trauma that I never even knew was causing me pain. **Thanks Nic!!!!

Nic is an amazing therapist, so kind and patient. She listens well and gives great advise. Within the first session I knew I would be safe in her hands and felt reassured already. I would without a doubt recommend using her services. Better than any other out there.

Nic has been great from day one, making me feel at ease the moment we started our sessions. She's listens to me and takes great care to help me through situations. I had doubts about getting another therapist as my previous one I felt I did not gain much from but with Nic it was immediately I realised how supportive she was. I'm looking forward to future sessions with Nic.

Over the past few months, Nic has not only held a professional and reliable etiquette as a therapist, she has been real, raw, human and a friend. Nic was and is an eager listening ear, reminding us of how important our voices are, at times when we think no one else wants to hear.
Every session left all worries feeling smaller and a lingering feeling of support followed after. Honesty, gentle strength and encouragement were easy to be felt with any interaction. Thanks for all your help Nic, will miss having you to chat to every week. Keep sharing your magic

Ive had some sessions now with Nic, and she is truly amazing as a therapist.

I have already recommended her to so many people, I cannot wait to continue with her.

Nicola Edworthy does seem to me, to be very kind and professional. Also very much with a realistic and in-depth willingness to understand me from the perspective of being very different from herself - And helping me to feel humanised past a lot of negativity, that I start to notice, I'm much better than. As for many of us, life had been getting on top of me, and I'm glad I reached out.

Instead of giving blanket tips, Nicola is very responsive to me and really tries to understand my situation deeply and and comes up with individual suggestions. She is extremely engaged and proactive. She reaches out to me in between sessions and really takes a lot of time for me. I feel very understood by Nicola and I can highly recommend her.

For years I have been hesitant to speak with an adult or even therapist because I was always afraid that I wouldn’t be heard or I’d be silently judge or the feeling that they would use text book quotes at me.

With Nicola Edworthy she listens and understands how you feel. She takes the time to go through each problem you have. She has been very comfortable to speak with from the beginning to this day. She will make sure your comfort comes first .

Nic is very kind, positive, person who is very easy and comfortable to talk to. She is very good listenerz taking time to understand and asking the right questions to help connect the dots to particular issues or past tranmas that might be causing behaviours, feelings or distress. With that she can help unpick and realign to refocus a potential negative mindset and help someone develop and progress to a more positive outlook and perspective with self love at the core. I would definitely whole heartedly recommend Nic!

Thank you Nicola, for helping me find my way back. The way you listen and give advise is commendable. I've had various therapists over the years and would highly recommend you for your warm articulate manner that I really connected with, which is key when opening up.
Great advice, always punctual and the worksheets extremely insightful. 'I'll do the right thing' from now on.

After a number of false starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Nicola sooner!

Nicola really helped me to elucidate and articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of negative and self defeating thinking, which proved essential in enabling her to then work with me to develop practical strategies for loosening their grip. She is patient and compassionate while being proactive and constructively challenging when she needs to be. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful.
Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or feeling like therapy is a dead end, I believe you have nothing to lose and plenty gain by seeking out a session with Nicola.

Thanks for everything Nicola!
