About me

With 18 years experience, I am a UKCP registered and accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor, based in Elstree & Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, WD6. My website aims to tell you a little about how having Psychotherapy or Counselling with me may be of help to you. Www.nikkiharrispsychotherapy.co.uk

As a result of my Integrative training and theoretical thinking, I view each client as an individual with their own unique experiences. Therefore, my therapeutic approach is not limited to simply one way of working. Depending on your needs and requirements, I will provide a range of techniques and ways of working which are drawn from the diverse theories and approaches recognised within the field of Counselling and Psychotherapy today. My approach relies on sensitive listening, open exploration, interactive engagement, respectful challenge and mutual participation in the process.

After you make contact with me (by email or phone) and we arrange to meet, we will need to agree how long we will want to work together for. It may be just a few sessions (usually 6 sessions as a minimum) or on an open-ended basis, depending on what feels right for you. I believe it helps to work out a time-frame together from the outset, but nothing is set in stone, and we can always review how things are as they unfold.
