Thank you for visiting Nicola Bell Counselling. My name is Nicola Bell; I'm a qualified therapeutic counsellor offering a professional and confidential counselling service for individuals, schools and organisations from my private practice based in Huddersfield.
I work with people who are looking for perspective in their lives, people who feel they are stuck, distressed or troubled. People come to me from all walks of life to ask me to help them take control and find direction.
I develop respectful and understanding relationships with my clients. As an integrative practitioner I draw upon a range of approaches and techniques which recognise one approach does not fit all.
I aim to provide support for you in a safe and secure environment.
- Achieve the life that you want
- Put perspective on any situation you may feel stuck with
- Look further than the problems you present with
- Look at underlying causes
- Explore what you want
- Work out what is important to you
- Help you decide what you want to do
- Recognize what is missing in your life
- Set goals
- Take control of your life
- Move on
- Work towards a more positive future
- Help you change behaviour to that which is more productive for you
- Build confidence and self esteem
- Improve overall well being
- Become the person you want to be.
My interest in counselling was born out of a desire to return to the caring profession and help people find a way to live an emotionally healthy life. I believe we all have the internal resources to overcome our distress and work towards healing.
As a former nurse in general, community and school nursing, my professional and life skills are transferable to the counselling relationship. My aim is to foster a counselling environment that will encourage personal growth. Most importantly I bring this attitude with genuine warmth to the counselling relationship.
During the last 2 years I have worked in a West Yorkshire Hospice with people who are affected by death and other issues of loss and grief. I have worked with clients offering pre-bereavement and post-bereavement counselling services and have worked with staff, patients and relatives.
In addition I have worked at a West Yorkshire Counselling Centre and an Early Years Children’s centre providing one to one therapy for men, women, parents, children and young people working in the areas of depression and relationship difficulties.
I aim to be sensitive to the cultural and ethnic origins of people’s religious beliefs and sexual orientation. I am a member of the BACP and am bound by its ethical framework for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy and subject to its professional conduct.
I believe in the uniqueness and worth of each individual and believe we all deserve to be able to choose our own direction and values to live by.
