Lesley Nikora

Counsellor

UK

My motivation to become a counsellor developed from my career in social care, mental health, and trauma informed services, working with vulnerable adolescents, adults and children. I wanted to understand the underlying trauma and how this impacts the person in their daily life.  I qualified in Counselling using Transactional Analysis in 2015, this is a  modality that can be readily shared with you to enhance your awareness and deepen your understanding of issues, processes and self and to identify the changes that you want to make and to find your own solutions.  I work gently and intuitively to connect empathically with others to gain awareness and understanding of how the body and mind are inter-related, influencing our experience and responses.
