Nicola Valcanis Psychologist

I am passionate about creating a person-centred, welcoming space to foster curiosity, exploration, and understanding of personal and life challenges. My approach is collaborative, and I tailor it to your individual needs to ensure that you benefit in the time we have together. A strong therapeutic relationship is an essential foundation for improving psychological well-being. My aim is to create a space that is comfortable, welcoming, and trauma-informed so you can feel safe discussing your needs openly. Our first session is primarily dedicated to getting to know each other. I dedicate this time to actively listening to your thoughts, emotions, stories, and concerns, which helps us paint a clear picture and gain insight into what brought you here. From there, we work collaboratively to define the goals we want to focus on. I offer a diverse and integrated approach, drawing on many different therapies to meticulously tailor treatment to what you are aiming to address. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy going to music gigs, visiting farmers markets, and taking my border collie to the beach.
