Nick Aspey Counselling

09/07/2026

I used to write alot - reports, speeches and articles for politicians and over the last few years my life was dominated by writing essays and a dissertation for my career transition into therapy.

So much of what I used to write was for someone else and often in someone else's voice and I always agree with it all. I think it's time to put my own voice out there and say things that matter to me in a more congruent way so I've decided to do some more writing for myself and let my own voice out.

I've written a blog on Counselling and Psychotherapy - the different approaches to counselling and psychotherapy we can be mind boggling for clients and my Humanistic approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy. It's here for any friends and colleagues that are interested.

Before starting therapy, it helps to understand how your therapist sees people, suffering and the process of change.

🍎 Therapy for Teachers and Education Staff

Teaching is one of the most meaningful professions but also one of the most demanding.

Behind every lesson plan, report, and pastoral conversation, there is often exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and the quiet pressure of holding everything together for everyone else.

Therapy offers a confidential space to reflect, recharge, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. It is not about fixing what is wrong but about making space for you amidst the constant demands of supporting others.

Between now and Christmas, I am offering therapy for teachers, teaching assistants, and education staff at £25 per session.

If you are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply need space to think and breathe, therapy can help you find balance again.

📅 Available until Christmas
💻 Online sessions
💷 £25 per session for teachers and education staff

🚨 Therapy for Blue Light Professionals
Working in emergency and frontline services takes incredible strength — but it also takes its toll.

Police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and other blue light professionals often carry what others can’t see: the stress, trauma, and emotional weight that come with helping others every day.

Therapy provides a confidential space to process those experiences, regain perspective, and reconnect with yourself. It’s not about weakness — it’s about recovery, resilience, and staying well enough to keep doing the work you care about.

Between now and Christmas, I’m offering therapy for blue light workers at £25 per session.

Whether you’re looking for short-term support, a safe space to offload, or a chance to reflect on long-term wellbeing, I offer a calm, non-judgemental space that understands the pressures of frontline work.

📅 Available until Christmas
💻 Online sessions
💷 £25 per session for blue light professionals

If you or someone you know works in emergency services and could benefit from this offer, feel free to message me here on LinkedIn or book directly via my website:

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s essential. 🌱

Therapy for Therapists in Training
One of the most essential and often underestimated parts of becoming a therapist is undertaking personal therapy.

It’s not an optional extra.
It’s a core part of training.

Sitting in the client’s chair helps trainees understand the courage, vulnerability, and honesty therapy requires. It deepens empathy, enhances self-awareness, and supports ethical, grounded practice. Simply put: you can’t offer what you haven’t experienced.

I know how expensive training can be, especially when balancing placement hours, supervision, and study.

So, between now and Christmas, I’m offering therapy for trainee counsellors and psychotherapists at £25 per session.

Whether you’re looking to meet course requirements or want to engage more deeply in your own personal process, this is a supportive and reflective space to grow as both a person and a future practitioner.

📅 Available until Christmas
💻 Online via Zoom
💷 £25 per session for students

If you’re a therapist in training and would like to arrange sessions or find out more, feel free to message me here on LinkedIn or visit my website.

Let’s keep making therapy training supportive, ethical, and accessible. 🌱

You can also book a free online consultation via zoom: https://www.nickaspeytherapy.co.uk/appointments

“What matters more than theory is a strong working alliance between therapist and client…”

Therapy isn’t about having a diagnosis. It’s about thinking richly about your life, who you are, and what you want, and then choosing to live more actively and freely

From psychoanalysis to existential therapy, there’s a bewildering variety of approaches – with one thing in common
