For a clearer future
Lomiah Nicholls BA (Hons), MBACP.
Hello, I'm Lomiah
My journey into psychotherapy began many years ago during my time working in nursing and palliative care. It was a deep honour to be alongside people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, offering dignity, care, support and human connection, not only to those approaching the end of life, but also to their families and loved ones.
My experiences, both personally and professionally, have given me a profound appreciation of the complexities of being human and the importance of feeling genuinely heard, understood and supported. My lifelong curiosity about human nature, our emotional and psychological experiences, and the different ways we respond to life's challenges has continued to shape my approach to therapy.
I went on to achieve a first-class honours degree in Integrative Counselling and have also studied psychology at Master's level. My learning continues through specialist training, ongoing professional development and the insights gained through my therapeutic work and the people I have the privilege of working alongside.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw upon different approaches to respond to you as an individual, rather than expecting you to fit a particular model of therapy. I aim to offer a compassionate and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences openly, including the aspects of yourself that may feel difficult to understand or accept.
My work is shaped by a particular interest in trauma, attachment, relationships and the connection between our emotional and physical experiences. Alongside talking therapy, I can incorporate somatic and body-based approaches, drawing on my professional training in breathwork to support emotional exploration, processing and regulation.
I value and welcome human diversity, recognising that each person brings their own unique experiences, perspectives and ways of being. I have specialist experience in neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, working with neurodivergent adults as well as parents and caregivers of neurodivergent young people. My professional background spans charitable and private settings, supporting people through both shorter periods of difficulty and more complex or longstanding challenges.
You are welcome to come as you are. We can begin from there.
Outside of work, you might find me exploring the countryside on foot or by bike, enjoying music and dance, getting absorbed in a creative project or discovering somewhere new. I love being outdoors and finding opportunities for adventure, but equally appreciate quieter moments of reflection and time spent with family, friends and my animals.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a professional member of the UK Breathwork Association. I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework and undertake regular confidential clinical supervision as an integral part of my practice.
