My Masters degree is in existential psychotherapy.  I have additional training in groupwork, clinical supervision and somatic trauma therapy.  Existential psychotherapy is part of the humanistic approach. It aims to help you find your own ways of coming to terms with previous and current difficulties in your life.  The emphasis is on people developing the skills to be self-reflective, take responsibility for their behaviour, increase understanding of their personal beliefs and values, aid psychological and emotional maturity and learn how to cope with the challenges of life more effectively, by accepting what cannot be changed and addressing what can be. This philosophical approach has a focus on relationships people have with themselves, others and life in general. I have written more about this on my website www.nikidtherapy.co.uk

I am a Pink Therapy clinical associate and have a postgraduate diploma in Relationship Therapy with Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diverse Clients (GSRD) as well as co,pleting the Essentials Module in GSDR Therapy through Pink Therapy training programmes. I work primarily with clients from these communities.
