I have been working as an Integrative Psychotherapist for the past twenty years. I work integratively, which means I have the benefit of drawing on a range of tools according to the needs of my clients, including aspects from the psychodynamic, creative arts, and transpersonal approaches. I work holistically, taking into account all the many dimensions that makes us human.

My work is how we begin to understand and heal from this in order to reach our potential and become more fully ourselves. Read more about Nicole…
