Nicola Crossland Counselling and Psychotherapy

About me

I’m interested in how our backgrounds and identities can influence how we experience ourselves and the world. These experiences give us such unique perspectives, while at the same time we share so much as fellow human beings.

Aside from being a therapist, I also work as a researcher. I’m curious about the world and I love to learn. My research is about parents’ health and wellbeing during pregnancy and the postnatal period: I’m interested in discovering what helps people during big life transitions like becoming a parent. I’m interested in trying to understand how these events affect the meaning we make of our lives.

I’m inspired and supported by my long-standing Zen Buddhist meditation practice. My Buddhist practice helps me to be present in my life as it is.
