Welcome:
We all reach points in life where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or far from ourselves. Whether you’re navigating a crisis, processing loss, facing long-standing patterns, or simply sensing a quiet ache for something more, you don’t have to do it alone.
My name is Nikki Simpson and I offer one-to-one counselling for adults and adolescents that creates space for you to meet yourself with honesty, care, and compassion. My approach is relational, trauma-aware, and rooted in the belief that healing arises when we feel safe enough to tell the truth of our experience—and be received with presence and warmth.
I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor with many years of experience supporting people through life’s transitions and challenges. My own journey has been shaped by complex grief, cancer, recovery from childhood wounds, and an ongoing commitment to embodiment, integrity, and self-trust.
Alongside traditional talk therapy, I bring in threads from mindfulness, body-based awareness, and creativity. I also work with themes around sexuality, identity, and conscious relating, holding space for those exploring non-traditional paths or simply longing for more authentic connection.
I see counselling as an act of remembering – who we are beneath the armour, the stories, and the survival strategies. My role is not to fix or advise, but to walk with you, offering a grounded, attuned presence as you reconnect with your own wisdom.
A Space to Be
My practice, Space to Be, reflects what I aim to offer: a gentle, non-clinical environment where you can soften, explore, and come home to yourself. It’s a space that welcomes the messy, tender, and unspoken parts of you—and honours your pacing.
I work with a wide range of issues, including:
- Loss & grief
- Stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression
- Trauma and nervous system dysregulation
- Relationship and intimacy challenges
- Separation & divorce
- Body-based struggles & identity questions
- LGBTQIA+ experience, sexuality, and gender
- Boarding School Syndrome & complex childhood histories
Please feel free to get in touch with me for a chat about how I can help support you at this time.
