Nicole Castellani

I have over twenty years experience working as a therapist. My professional training and my own life experiences means that I will be able to help you with a wide range of issues. As your therapist I will engage you as a person rather than a set of symptoms. My aim is to help you make changes, and to come to terms with difficult dilemmas. I will offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore, express and understand your thought and feelings. I am an integrative therapist which means that I can work with a wide set of therapies rather than a fixed approach. We are all faved with difficult struggles in our lives, some we can work through but some leave us feeling trapped and confused and unable to see a way forward. I work holistically taking into account all the aspects that make us human. Stress and pain can sometimes cause us to shut down some of these aspects causing anxiety and depression. Our work together will help you to understand yourself better and help you to put healthy strategies in place. In addition to my private practice, I worked for sixteen years in a centre for alcohol and substance misuse. This has helped me to understand dependency and its root causes. Until very recently and for eight years I co ordinated a project for domestic violence working with survivors of abusive relationships. Since the lockdown I have been working extensively with anxiety and depression and have had very positive results with my clients.
