Nicky Scrimgeour
Counselling

 

About Me

I’m Nicky Scrimgeour, a Relate trained relationship counsellor and psychosexual therapist, working predominantly with couples, but working with individuals too. I am experienced in working with a diverse range of relationship and sexual issues.
 
Talking about your difficulties and exploring them with someone trained to listen can be very helpful. Counselling isn’t a quick fix for problems and it won’t take away a difficult past, but it can help you towards an easier future. My aim is to provide support for you in a safe and confidential space and without judgement.
 
I understand that it can sometimes feel daunting to seek counselling and to open up to a stranger about your personal problems. A relational approach and establishing a therapeutic relationship where you feel able to express your thoughts and feelings, in an environment where you feel heard, goes a long way towards helping you to gain clarity about a problem.

 

Qualifications
