​Nicole McKendry DipHE Counselling, DipHYP

I would like to welcome you to Therapy in the City.  Beginning therapy can be the first steps in change and together we can explore what has brought you to this point in your life. 

​I have been in private practice since 2007 and founded Therapy in the City to provide a space for you that is friendly, open-minded and understanding.  As an integrative therapist I combine Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy with Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy to work holistically with you, this means that you are at the centre of our work together.  Building a trusting relationship, valuing your individuality rather than just working with your issue. 

I have always believed therapy should be an informal, authentic and relaxing experience. The therapeutic approach I offer is gentle and empathetic , you will find yourself at ease as we discuss your symptoms and focus on the treatment of your individual needs.  Therefore, no subject is censored or judged upon and all sessions and discussions are treated with strict confidence and discretion.

I run my practice through online sessions and from private therapy room in Broughty Ferry, Dundee.  Here I have created a safe, warm and caring environment in which you can relax and focus on the changes you want to make in your life, by releasing repressed pains, traumas, fears, self doubts or finding a new perspective for your current life transition.

Experience:  Since 2007 I have had the privilege of working with a range of clients all over the world, some of which include government officials, executives, medical professionals, actors, musicians and athletes.  Outside of my private practice I have worked for two years as a volunteer counsellor with ​Fife Women's Aid providing one to one counselling to women who experienced domestic abuse. I have also worked as a school counsellor and volunteer counsellor with Relationship Scotland. 

In May 2017 I joined the Post Major Incident Therapist Network and worked as a volunteer therapist with survivors of the Manchester Arena Bombing. I remain a member of this network and although it was created in response to the bombing, we are now a global group ready to help those affected by major incidents and disasters.
