Somatic, Attachment & IFS-Informed Therapy
Nikki Simpson | Person-Centred Counsellor & Somatic Trauma Therapist
Counselling in Stroud, Gloucestershire and online across the UK.
A Space to Be
We all reach points in life where we feel stuck, overwhelmed or far from ourselves. Whether you’re navigating a crisis, processing loss, struggling in relationships or simply sensing a longing for something more, you don’t have to find your way alone.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, explore your experience and begin to reconnect with yourself.
Therapy can be more than a way through difficulty. It can also be a journey of self-discovery — an invitation to deepen awareness, cultivate self-compassion and find new ways of being in relationship with yourself and others.
An Embodied Approach to Therapy
My work is grounded in Person-Centred counselling, integrating somatic trauma approaches, attachment theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Alongside talking therapy, I bring attention to the wisdom of the body, recognising that our experiences live not only in thoughts and memories, but also in sensations, emotions and patterns of nervous system response.
My approach is informed by specialist training in somatic trauma therapy with Babette Rothschild and IFS Level 1, with particular attention to attachment, relational trauma and early life experiences.
Rather than pushing for change or trying to fix what feels difficult, we work with curiosity and compassion, honouring your individual pace and creating space for understanding, integration and new possibilities to emerge.
Working Together
I offer counselling for adults and young people, both in person in Stroud and online throughout the UK.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. You’re welcome to get in touch to explore whether working together might feel right for you.
You are welcome just as you are.
