Life can feel so overwhelming and unpredictable at times. Whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, unhappy or confused, or simply not yourself, you don't have to face it alone. Perhaps you are looking for some relief from the difficulties that you are having, feeling stuck in the same old patterns, struggling with parenthood and family life or the pressures of raising young children. Therapy, like counselling, offers a confidential space to enquire into these things, where you can share openly and be deeply listened to. 

​

My name is Nikki Holmes and I am a UKCP Psychotherapist in Training based in Downend, South Gloucestershire. I work in a relational and embodied way, and can provide you with a calm and non-judgemental space to explore whatever has brought you to Psychotherapy. Together we can bring awareness to what is happening in your mind and body, and over time we can begin to explore how this might relate to current and past experiences. I will follow your lead and work gently to support you in understanding yourself more fully, bringing self compassion to areas of difficulty, and in moving towards greater freedom from whatever is troubling you.

​

Reaching out can feel difficult, but it's also a powerful step towards change. If you're ready to talk- or even just curious about therapy- I'm here to help. Finding a therapist that is the right 'fit' for you is important; having someone that you can trust and feel safe with will allow the therapy to progress and deepen. I offer a free, 30 minute meeting so that we can ease into the work and decide if it feels right for you. 

 

You can find my contact details below if you would like to discuss working together; we can meet in person or online if that suits your better. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
