About me
Hello, I'm Nicola Ellis — a trauma informed qualified Counsellor based in Colchester.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and I aim to offer a warm, non-judgemental, and confidential space where you can explore whatever’s on your mind. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to go through it alone.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and I combine academic knowledge with a compassionate, client-led approach. My work is person-centred and integrative — meaning I adapt the way I work to suit your individual needs and pace.
To make counselling more accessible and flexible, I offer , online (video), telephone, and text-based sessions, allowing you to choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient for you.
At the heart of my practice is a belief in your capacity for growth and healing. If you're considering counselling, I’d be happy to offer a brief conversation to see how I might support you.
