RCC (Qualifying)

Nicola Spencer

Hi, I’m Nicola –

A relationship-focused and couples counsellor, but a human first. And I welcome you into my space as the full human you know yourself to be.

*Please note I have completed my Master's in Counselling from City University and am currently pre-licensed. I will be registered as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in the coming months*

I tend to think of therapy as “work hard, play hard” – with a generous side of empathy, honesty, and humour. It’s a space to help you recognize your strengths, take ownership of your successes (and fuck-ups), while providing support, and offering new perspectives – So you can dive deep into those big feelings, chat through the uncomfortable stuff, and explore everything life throws at you, human to human.

In my one-to-one work with individuals, I love supporting folks who are:

  • Working through the pains of perfectionism
  • Going through big life changes – Whether you’re figuring out a new career path, debating going back to school, ending a relationship, moving to another city, or deciding to have kids…
  • Asking the big questions like, Who am I? What do I care about most? What do I want for myself?
  • Riding the rollercoaster of relationships – From dating, to family, to friendships, to exploring your sexuality, opening your relationship, or building a life with someone
  • Struggling to build confidence or feel like you’re always getting in your own way

In my work with couples, I’m passionate about helping partners reconnect, communicate better, and navigate life’s messy, beautiful moments together. I aim to help you and your partner(s):

  • Talk so your partner(s) actually hear [aka – understands] you
  • Feel like a real team instead of two opposing forces
  • Make the hard conversations a bit easier and more productive
  • Imagine new ways to improve your sex life
  • Create closeness, even in long-distance relationships
  • Explore the complexities of being intentionally child-free

Whether you're dating, married, navigating non-monogamy, long-distance, or intentionally child-free – I’m here to support you. Relationships are deeply personal, but they don’t have to be figured out alone. Let’s roll up our sleeves and explore what’s working, what’s not, and what kind of connection you want to build moving forward.

with salt,
Nicola
