clinical supervision
As a Clinical Supervisor for Counsellors, Niki Gelekis uses various supervision interventions and reflective practices to provide adequate evaluation and feedback and address the ethical and legal considerations of counselling practice.
anxiety therapy
Anxiety therapy is a crucial intervention for managing and alleviating signs of anxiety disorders. It encompasses a range of therapeutic strategies tailored to individual needs, focusing on reducing anxiety and improving overall mental well-being.
burnout therapy
The Nurture Space offers burnout therapy that encompasses a wide range of interventions designed to alleviate the symptoms of first-experience burnout and prevent its recurrence. The primary goal of first-experience burnout-and-out management is to support individuals in regaining their energy, enthusiasm, and professional satisfaction.
grief and loss counselling
Grief, a profound emotional response to loss, is as natural as inevitable, reflecting the depth of connections. The Nurture Space understands that the journey through grief is not only about coping with the immediate aftermath of loss and emotional wounds but also about healing and finding a new sense of normalcy.
self-esteem counselling
Self-esteem is foundational to how life is experienced, influencing relationships, careers, and mental health. The Nurture Space’s approach to self-esteem counselling is designed to empower individuals by nurturing relationships that reinforce their intrinsic value and capabilities.
depression counselling
The Nurture Space offers depression counselling that plays a pivotal role in the field of mental stability and suicide tendencies. It is a form of therapy that involves intensive one-on-one sessions between a client and a licensed psychologist or therapist, aimed at tackling specific emotional and psychological issues related to depression.
stress management
Stress management is essential to maintaining overall well-being, particularly in a fast-paced modern world where stressful events are often unavoidable. Managing stress effectively not only enhances freedom from mental illness but also supports physical health, helping to mitigate the adverse effects of chronic stress.
EMDR therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a transformative psychotherapy technique designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Recognised for its effectiveness in treating Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), EMDR therapy helps individuals access and process traumatic memories, aiming to achieve an adaptive resolution.
complex PTSD therapy
Complex PTSD, a severe mental stability condition closely related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), emerges from chronic trauma that continues or repeats over months or years. Unlike PTSD, which can result from a single traumatic event, this disorder of extreme stress is generally associated with long-term trauma, creating profound and lasting effects on emotional and mental well-being.
attachment-based therapy
Attachment-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that leverages the principles of attachment theory to foster emotional healing and promote psychological health. At The Nurture Space, this therapy focuses primarily on strengthening the bonds between individuals and their key attachment figures, often addressing issues that arise from early attachment disruptions.
emotionally focused therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured approach to couples therapy that emphasises the development of emotional intelligence and recognising underexpressed feelings within intimate relationships. The main objective of EFT is to facilitate a deeper emotional connection between partners by encouraging them to express and understand their deepest, often unvoiced, emotions.
gottman method couples therapy
The Gottman Method, employed by The Nurture Space, aims to tackle conflicting verbal communication, boost intimacy, respect, and affection, and remove barriers contributing to feelings of stagnation. This approach fosters a greater sense of empathy and understanding within relationships.
