Nicola Lomas, BACP

Nicola Lomas is an experienced integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Norwich who offers a thoughtful, client-centred approach to emotional healing and personal growth. She is fully qualified with a BSc Hons and holds BACP accreditation, and she creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits them.

Her integrative practice draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, allowing sessions to be adapted to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. Nicola works with a broad spectrum of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and issues related to sexuality and identity. A particular focus of her work is supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape, bringing sensitivity, empathy, and a steady commitment to helping clients rebuild self-trust and find ways to move forward.

Nicola also addresses difficulties such as abandonment and attachment struggles, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to validate each person’s experience while guiding them toward greater resilience and self-compassion. Clients can expect a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which goals and the pace of work are shaped together.

Integrative approaches and flexible online therapy

Nicola practises an integrative approach that combines a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, tailoring interventions to each person’s unique needs. This means sessions can draw on different methods to address symptoms of stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the impacts of trauma, while focusing on practical tools and emotional processing.

Alongside integrative work, Nicola places particular emphasis on supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape, offering sensitive, paced therapeutic work that prioritises rebuilding self-trust and resilience. The aim is to create a collaborative relationship in which the therapist and client decide together which approaches best suit the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for people with different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from wherever you are, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to fit around daily life. Nicola will work with each client to choose the format and pace that feel most helpful.
