About Me
Nikola Horley
Registered Psychologist
You can create a better life. One step at a time.
“You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain.” – Tom Hiddleston
I’ve come to understand therapy as a collaborative partnership; and I fundamentally believe that we are all the experts on our own lives; each of us individually climbing our own mountains.
I understand that seeking help can initially feel overwhelming. I have over 35 years’ experience in Psychology, and I provide a nurturing, caring, and compassionate space, with the latest tools to help clients create the life they’re dreaming of as we learn and grow together.
I’m an experienced Psychologist, and have an integrative, gentle and compassionate style. I combine many different approaches depending on individual needs, with proven tools such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Imagery Rescripting, Hypnotherapy… to name just some.
ABOUT ME
I’m constantly researching the latest up-to-date Psychology and wellbeing tools; integrating into my practice a wide range of skills, wisdom, and experience from leaders around the world.
I attended formal university studies for over 7 years and received Psychology degrees from 3 Universities including Honours and Masters degrees. I undertake professional development regularly, from therapists and experts around the world.
I see many people seeking therapy to improve their lives, and deal with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationships, grief and loss, and challenges from significant life events.
“And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things.” – Martin Scorsese
