Dr Nicole Burnham
Counselling Psychologist and Psychosexual Therapist
Professional Profile:
I am a Chartered Counselling psychologist with over 16 years of experience working in mental health. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where I offer individual therapy and psychosexual therapy.
People seek therapy for a number of reasons. Some may want support in finding relief from specific difficulties such as relationship or sexual difficulties, low mood or anxiety, or other emotional problems that might impact their life. Others may feel less sure of what they want from therapy, or come with a more general desire to understand themselves better, to find more meaning in their lives, or simply have a space to stop and think about what their next steps might be.
The kind of support and input that a person might need when they come to therapy will vary considerably. I do not therefore believe that one type of therapy fits all, and instead draw from a broad range of models to inform an individualised, integrative approach. I primarily draw from relational ways of working, but will incorporate cognitive behavioural and trauma informed interventions when needed. I have also undertaken specialist training in psychosexual therapy which allows me to incorporate specific interventions to support those experiencing sexual difficulties.
In addition to working in private practice I have worked in various NHS services. I currently work part time in a London based Sexual Health service as the Psychology Lead for the Sexual Problems Service.
I value diversity in its broadest sense, and aim to make my practice as inclusive and safe as possible.
