Nicola Manji

I’m a down-to-earth, trauma-informed counsellor, and I truly believe that healing happens through real human connection. I bring warmth, empathy, and honesty into the room, not as someone with all the answers, but as a fellow human being.Wherever you find yourself right now, I’ll meet you there. Counselling offers you a space to pause, to explore your emotions, better understand your needs and be supported through life’s challenges.

I work as a person-centred therapist with an integrative approach, which means I place you at the heart of the therapeutic process. I strongly believe that you are the expert in your own world, I won’t tell you how to feel or what to do. I will support you as you navigate the challenges you're facing, helping you make sense of your emotions, thoughts and behaviours. There is no script to our counselling sessions, you are free to bring whatever feels important to you in your own time and your own way.

I offer one-to-one counselling sessions in-person, online or by telephone, for anyone aged 16 and above.

​These are just some of the areas that we can explore together:

• Feeling “stuck,” numb, or overwhelmed
• Carrying a sense of shame, fear or not feeling good enough
• Grief in its many forms — however it shows up for you
• Bereavement and loss of loved ones or meaningful connections
• Questions around identity and self discovery
• Relationships, intimacy, boundaries, and trust
• The lasting impact of sexual violence or abuse, approached with care and sensitivity
• Belonging and connection

My practice is inclusive, and my aim is to create a warm, safe and affirming space to welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities including LGBTQ+ clients. All aspects of your identity will be welcome; I want you to know that you can bring who you are without fear of being challenged or dismissed.
