Psychotherapy & Counselling

Nikki Della-Rocca

What to expect

After our initial contact, I will arrange a free quarter-hour telephone call to discuss what brings you to counselling.

If we both agree that we can work together we will then arrange a time and day for our sessions. We will initially discuss the contract for both of us to sign.

I will endeavour to ensure that we meet at the same time and place weekly, or fortnightly if you wish. I prefer to work face to face in Addlestone or I can work remotely. I can also arrange ‘walk and talk’ by request.

You will feel safe and listened to when in therapy with me.

We will regularly review our work and will carry on sessions for as long as you wish.

I will help you at your pace and together we will work to achieve your goals.

things i can help with

Difficulties in relationships – do you find that you keep repeating the same patterns in your relationships.
Depression – are you in a rut and unsure how to get past it
Anxiety – is anxiety taking over your world? Would you like to feel that you can control the anxiety?
Grief – do you feel stuck in your grief and unable to move on?Motivation – do you feel unable to complete jobs? Is your head full of thoughts of inadequacy
Procrastination – preventing you from starting jobs in plenty of time to make sure you have completed them to the best of your abilities?
Feeling unworthy – do you feel “not good enough” so why try? Or if something does go well, do you feel you don’t deserve it, or someone else made it happen?
Unable to lead an authentic life – do you feel you are missing something in your life?
These, and many other issues, have been resolved in a good therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients

About Me

I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist, a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP) and also an Accredited Registrant of NCPS (MNCPS Acc).

I work integratively which means that I can use different therapeutic practices depending on the client I am working with. I find this comes naturally to me as our relationship develops. You can be sure that you will be safe with me.

Experience

I was a volunteer with the Samaritans for over eight years. This experience made me realise how a connection between two people can be so therapeutic. I was intrigued when I considered the impact of developing a relationship in counselling.

I have also volunteered for the NHS, working within their low-cost model of short term counselling of 6 to 12 sessions.

I currently volunteer for a local charity, The Counselling Partnership, where I work with clients in a low-cost setting. Here I work with clients for a minimum of six weeks and up to one year. I also help the charity with the assessment of possible future clients.
