Nichola Smithurst

Professional Profile

My name is Nichola, I am a fully qualified CBT therapist (BABCP-Accredited) and Couple Therapist (Tavistock approved) working with Think CBT. I currently offer face to face therapy from Derbyshire in the UK as well as video remote appointments.

I aim to build a compassionate, non-judgemental and trusting relationship. I work alongside clients to help explore and better understand their difficulties. CBT can help shine a light on how we can find ourselves in a vicious cycle and become stuck from moving forwards.

CBT will focus on working together to break these links and build on a more positive cycle to develop helpful coping strategies, build resilience and help overcome your difficulties. The overall aim is to gain more control over your life and move towards reaching your therapy goals.

My experience includes working with adults, young people, groups and couples in various settings to include NHS, charity and private practice. I have undertook additional training in  Compassion focused therapy and Working with clients with Long Term conditions. 

I abide by the policies and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity to work as a therapist in the UK, I am DBS checked and attend regular clinical supervision.
