About Nikki Patterson

Hi I’m Nikki and I am a qualified person-centred counsellor with a BA (honours) in Counselling, working with adults, children and young people.

I am starting a Masters in Contemporary Relationship Studies in September 2021 and can offer couples, families, and small groups counselling sessions.

I am very passionate about counselling and truly believe in the unique connection that person-centred counselling offers.

The open, non-judgemental environment offers a safe space to talk where you can be really heard. I feel I am here to ‘walk’ with you on your own counselling journey, to go at your pace and help you find your own answers. I believe counselling is there to offer you the confidential space to talk about any aspect of your life, behaviours, thoughts or feelings that you want to explore.

A bit about me:
I have previously worked with people with physical and learning disabilities, I have worked in secondary schools including activity based, separate from mainstream and worked with children who had social and emotional issues.

I have 2 dogs and love being outdoors, the beach, walking and exploring new places, swimming, yoga and practising mindfulness.

Harry Potter is my favourite film collection although I have never read the books. I am an animal lover and enjoy visiting wildlife parks, giraffes are my favourite, although elephants, orangutans and lions come close behind.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding counselling and I look forward to sharing your journey with you.

'I am really pleased i started with Cudox, it really is the best counselling i've had ever'
'I am so thankful to be able to talk to my counsellor, she has seen me through so much and I have gained more confidence in myself. People should use this service if offered, it works and I am so grateful how far I have come today'
'I feel without this help and ongoing support I would have ended up trying to take my own life'
My counsellor is the first person in my 36 years mental health battle that has listened to me without judgement. I couldn't have wished for a better therapist'
'Words cannot describe how much counselling has changed my life. I needed support but wasn't sure in what capacity. From my first session I felt seen and heard in a whole new way and it opened up so many things to explore.
'My counsellor really cares and provides the vital safe space in which to open and share the delicate and fragile contents of an extremely complex broken heart and mind'
