Bereavement and loss
Grief doesn't follow a timetable. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, counselling gives you somewhere to talk about the person and about what life is like without them.
A calm, steady space to talk things through.
I'm Nicky Wilson, a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist near West Hampstead, North London. I specialise in bereavement, divorce and relationships, and anxiety and depression.

Three areas I work with most
Most people come to me when something in life has changed or ended and it has become hard to manage alone. These are the areas I know best.
Divorce and relationships
Separation changes your home, your family and your sense of who you are. I work with many women going through divorce or difficult relationships, during the split and in the rebuilding afterwards.
Anxiety and depression
Constant worry, panic, low mood or a feeling of being stuck often have roots in earlier experiences. We look at where these feelings come from and at practical ways to cope with them day to day.
I also offer counselling for
- Abuse
- Addiction
- Binge eating and chaotic eating
- Career and work issues
- Family issues
- Menopause
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Stress and feeling overwhelmed
- Trauma
My approach
I am a humanistic integrative therapist. That means I draw on several ways of working and choose what suits you, so no two clients have the same experience.
People describe me as kind, honest and approachable. My aim is a safe space, free of judgement, where you feel listened to and understood.
Feeling stuck or unable to cope often comes from experiences much earlier in life. Together we look back at those experiences, and at the relationships and family patterns around them, so that you can make changes and feel more in control of your life.
