NICOLA SWALES

My experience is vast, but I have specialised in mental health, domestic abuse, sexual violence, substance misuse and health psychology within an individual and group setting. A lot of my work has been located within inner city London and has afforded me an opportunity to work with diverse communities... I have a passion and interest in working with trauma, particularly post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complicated grief and long term health conditions. I have extensive experience of working within oncology supporting individuals who have endured a cancer diagnosis and am currently undertaking a doctorate in relation to this area of work... I am currently work within a health psychology service within the NHS as a lead counsellor for critical care allowing me to support individuals and their relatives (including couples) who have experienced their stay as distressing or traumatic.
