Nicola Murray, BACP

Nicola Murray works with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain, helping them develop practical skills to manage daily challenges and move closer to their genuine selves. She completed her initial training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and combines that foundation with a collaborative, client-centered approach to identify methods that fit each person’s needs. She holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which informs her practice and professional standards.

Her clinical interests include intimacy in any form, anger, trust issues, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. Nicola focuses on building coping strategies and emotional regulation skills while addressing the patterns that maintain distress. She works alongside clients to explore underlying causes, increase self-awareness, and create achievable steps toward change.

Nicola also provides couples work for partners who feel stuck or frustrated by repeating patterns they cannot break. She supports couples in tracing issues back to their roots, improving communication, and repairing connection. Her couples work draws on communication techniques, emotional regulation strategies, and a step-by-step approach designed to consider the needs of everyone in the relationship and to help partners move toward repair and reconnection.
