Judy Nichols Hypnotherapy and Counselling. RGN. C.Hyp. Dip. NLP.

I contacted Judy when I was at a very low point in my life. She helped me understand how my childhood and past experiences have impacted who I am as an adult. Judy helped me become more aware of my thinking patterns/behaviours, understand where they stem from and gave me tools which I can continue to use to address issues. She really has helped me turn things around and I can’t rate her highly enough. More...

She not only listens well but she also provides practical help.

I was very nervous about starting therapy and had put it off for a long time. I wasn’t sure where to start or even what to say but from the first session, Judy made me feel comfortable and navigated me through it all. She has a caring, gentle approach but is also direct, asking all of the right questions but with absolutely no pressure at any time. Throughout my time speaking to Judy, she has helped me learn so much about myself and how to deal with both past and present issues. I felt so safe & comfortable and like I was really being looked after along the way. We spoke about things I didn’t even realise I needed to speak about and I feel like I’ve progressed so much in my time with her. I feel safe I’m knowing Judy is there if I ever needed to start back up also. Would highly recommend Judy to anyone and can’t thank her enough for helping me! More...

Words wouldn’t come close to describing how lovely Judy is. She has been so helpful and has brilliant methods of getting to the root of the issues whilst keeping you at ease. I went into counselling not knowing what to expect and am now so much happier. I couldn’t recommend her enough. More...

I found Judy to be a very experienced Councillor whose import allowed me to achieve an understanding of how the past can impact on the present. Thank you.

I found it really easy to chat with Judy, it was like speaking to an old friend! Judy helped me with coming to terms and grieving the loss of someone very close to me as well as issues with my self esteem. I felt as if she cared from the very beginning and have appreciated all our sessions. Thank you Judy! More...

Judy was excellent helping me navigate the issues I approached her with during our counselling sessions. Respectful, kind and a great listener, and most importantly great at her job, I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Judy is a great counsellor. She gently dug behind what I thought I needed to talk about and we realised quickly that they went back to something else. She helped me along a difficult path and I will always be very thankful that she was there with me.
Judy is easy to talk too, she asks questions but in a gentle and coaxing way. It made the process much less stressful than I thought it would be.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend Judy. More...

when I contacted Bark I was an an all time low after losing my mom and other things that followed. Judy got in touch with me and after my first session I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. She talking me through my feelings and enabled me to see the rationale behind them, allowed me to see that my me my feelings were perfectly normal and gave me some techniques to help with things. She was so easy to talk to, she listened to everything and really got me through a very rough time in my life. I will always be grateful to her. More...

I’d wanted to start, but had been putting off, starting therapy for a good while… But Judy made me very relaxed from the first conversation. I didn’t have anything one thing in particular that was on my mind, just a whole lot of stuff that I needed help sorting through and working out how to deal with and manage – and along the way I found out a lot of things about myself that I wasn’t quite expecting as she asks you to take a look at why feelings arise or why you deal with situations the way that you do. I now have some great techniques to take with me into everyday life (and in crisis situations too!) and feel ready to tackle the next chapter. Thanks Judy 😊 More...

Being someone that was extremely anxious about taking this step towards counselling Judy was amazing! With a 'no pressure' approach, even though others had contacted me via Bark, I knew immediately that Judy was the one I would feel completely comfortable with. We have worked together for a few months and it has been a great, and rewarding, and extremely helpful experience. Thank you Judy for everything! More...

Talking to Judy was like talking to a friend. I opened up to her and felt at ease even when talking about difficult subjects. She helped me tremendously through a very difficult period and has helped me look at things from a healthier point of view. Thank you for everything Judy. More...

Judy puts you immediately at ease, she is kind, intelligent, and very easy to talk to.
Judy also provides a comfortable, secure environment. Highly recommended.

I look forward to my appointments with Judy she listens and is helping me deal with my past and present. We need more Judy's in this world.

Judy helped me through a time in my life when I had lost my way. Everything seemed too much to deal with and I couldn’t focus on my day to day life.
After a few weeks we figured out the why’s and what was making me feel this way and made me understand that I don’t have to fix everything, but to learn to accept things and make good of a tough time.

I felt comfortable and at ease from the first appointment until my last one.

Thank you for helping me put the puzzle back together. More...

Judy Nicholas is the most amazing counsellor, I have seen quit a few then give up, but Judy is something very different, too the point she has saved my life, instilled confidence in myself that has made me successful in buisness, no amount of money could I give to this amazing, incredible, professional lady. Whatever your problems are you have too see Judy. More...

Going to Judy for hypnotherapy changed my life in the best way possible.
I first started attending as a 15 year old with anxiety and phobias, which was affecting my ability to live a "normal" life. I was having anxiety attacks on a regular basis and found it hard to socialise with people.
Going to Judy for hypnotherapy allowed me to work through the problems I had -- from bereavement to my individual phobias, as well as problems I didn't know I had that I was able to move on from in a safe and comfortable environment.
I wouldn't be the same person I am today without Judy, and I will always be grateful to her for helping me when I needed it most.
The best thing about Judy, which is a staggering difference from other mental health services, is that the door is never closed. Even when you feel that you no longer need to see her, the option is always open to go back. It's not a rushed process; you never feel as if you're going to be given up on. It's personal and you're allowed to take all the time you need on your individual journey.
I couldn't recommend Judy highly enough. You will always feel like you're in safe hands. More...

I first visited Judy 20 years ago, realising I needed help with issues that arose from my childhood.
Judy offered a calm and safe environment where I could work through my problems and issues.
There have been times in the last twenty years when I needed Judy's help again, and I knew she was there to help me come to terms with bereavement of a child and of my parents.
I have found hypnotherapy to be very beneficial which has made me able to move forward with my life and wouldn't hesitate to return to Judy's warmth and understanding when it is needed. More...

Judy has recently helped me through a very difficult and frightening time when I felt out of control and unable to deal with life. She provided the safe haven I needed and helped me,with the aid of hynotherapy, to talk about my fears and anxiety and find and face the root causes. She is a very calm and lovely person and I can't recommend her too highly. More...

Judy made me feel safe, very safe. By feeling safe I felt comfortable and was able to talk easily about my issues that were causing me intense anxiety and chronic worry. I discovered confidence and self worth through our work together and when you have both these you can start to take small steps to make big changes that can lead to a fulfilling life. More...

I was a client of Judy over two decades ago and she massively helped me, more so than I would have anticipated. . Although I now live 80 miles away I have gone back to her to help me with some more issues after all this time . She is very very good and I highly recommend her. Very experienced and effective. And a lovely person too. More...

Judy provides a wonderful oasis of peace in a frantic world. Her inner tranquility creates a safe space to work through issues and reach the desired goal at your own pace. Her hypnosis helped tremendously.
