Nicola Harpin

I am a contemporary relationship psychotherapist and have led a weird and wonderful life that has brought me trials, tribulations, great happiness and great sadness.  These experiences have brought me to the door of counselling and psychotherapy, resulting in me training to be able to help others in ways I was not helped myself.

I completed an MA in Contemporary Relationship Studies, to allow me to follow my passion to help others understand and improve their daily human connections. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for the exploration of personal and relational challenges, helping individuals, couples, and families to understand and navigate the necessary changes for issue resolution and growth in their lives.

My integrative approach incorporates various modalities including systemic theory, psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, emotion focused therapy (EFT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT),  allowing me to tailor the sessions to your specific needs and working together to meet your therapeutic goals.

I specialise in working with couples and individuals with neurodiversity (ASD/ADHD), anxiety, attachment concerns, individual trauma, relational trauma, sexual issues and intimacy challenges.  I support those navigating pregnancy, the post natal period and work with anxiety, loss and bereavement.

I am a gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD) friendly therapist working in-person and on-line.

My current study is taking me into the world of compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB) and I am currently seeking clients willing to undertake therapy with me so that I can complete my studies.  Clients will be required to agree to allow me to write an anonymous case study about their therapy in exchange for low-cost therapy.
