Therapy Grounded in Evidence and Flexibility

Nicola Revington Clinical Psychologist Bristol applies an integrative approach to assessment and therapy. She blends psychodynamic principles with systemic, trauma-informed, developmental, and attachment-based theories. This allows her to adapt therapy to each person’s needs.

She also draws from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and compassion-focused therapy (CFT). This integration provides a practical and supportive framework for healing.

Special Interests in Women’s Mental Health and Life Transitions

Nicola specialises in emotional health during life changes. She helps with adjustment difficulties, anxiety, bereavement, and maternal wellbeing. She pays particular attention to perinatal mental health, such as postnatal depression and anxiety. Her interest in attachment theory supports her work with both individuals and couples, helping people form stronger relationships.

Therapy Built on Connection and Curiosity

Nicola believes therapy should be collaborative. Clients are encouraged to reflect, grow, and become more aware of the patterns that shape their lives. Through curiosity and safe exploration, they gain clarity and make more fulfilling choices. This process supports healthier relationships and a more balanced, rewarding life.
