Within his current role he provides psychological interventions for adults experiencing acute mental health difficulties and/or have been diagnosed with an eating disorder.

Using an evidence-based approach, Nicky works mainly within a cognitive behavioural framework (standardised and Transdiagnostic), in addition to utilising Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Systemic Therapy and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT). He understands that some adults and young people find talking therapies difficult and inaccessible, which is where he employs a Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) approach to support improvements in individuals’ quality of life and mental health.
