I have availability on Monday afternoon and on Thursday and Friday mornings.

I am an experienced Psychodynamic Counsellor working with adults and young people at my private practice room in Temple Cloud. I am also able to offer sessions online. If you would like to find out more please contact me at nicola.cogan@mail.com

I am a calm, kind, and thoughtful person and, whilst working from a psychodynamic approach, I aim to offer a genuine and warm therapeutic relationship. I will listen carefully and help you explore and understand whatever difficulties may have brought you to counselling.

I understand coming to counselling can feel daunting, so I offer the space and time you need to understand and process your thoughts in sessions that are free from judgement.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can simply be yourself, whatever that looks like. Perhaps you might not yet know exactly what means for you.

I work in a calm, thoughtful, and compassionate way, helping people explore their feelings, relationships, behaviour patterns and life experiences with curiosity.

I understand that opening up can take time, so I work gently and at your pace. My aim is to offer a warm and grounded therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, supported, and accepted, rather than judged or analysed. By working together to understand past and present relationships and experiences, we can begin to develop clarity and insight, from which meaningful change can emerge.
