Nicola Murray , BACP

Nicola Murray is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and a wide range of emotional challenges. With six years of clinical experience, she blends practical skill-building with a warm, collaborative approach to help people manage life transitions, grief, trauma, addiction, parenting pressures, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates adherence to recognised professional counselling standards and ethical practice.

Nicola completed her initial training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a hands-on method that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - and she also draws on other therapeutic models to tailor work to each person. She pays particular attention to attachment and intimacy concerns, including abandonment and trust difficulties, and has additional focus on ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, sexual diversity and kink culture, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

In couples work Nicola helps partners untangle repeated patterns, improve communication, and reconnect after conflict. She uses step-by-step strategies for emotional regulation, clearer communication, and practical relationship repair, aiming to address the needs of everyone involved and to promote healthier ways of relating.
