Nicola Lomas, BACP

Nicola Lomas is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Norwich who combines a Bachelor of Science with honours and professional accreditation to offer tailored therapeutic support. She works from an integrative framework, blending evidence-based methods so each session can be adapted to fit an individual's needs and pace. Nicola emphasises a respectful, non-judgmental environment where people can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and relationships without pressure.

Her practice places particular emphasis on supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape, bringing careful sensitivity and an understanding of the complex impacts of trauma. Nicola focuses on helping people rebuild self-trust, process difficult memories, and strengthen resilience, while moving at a speed that feels manageable for the person in therapy. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and issues related to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns and attachment difficulties.

Nicola is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a range of therapeutic theories to shape collaborative work. Her approach aims to create a steady, compassionate space in which clients can explore change, develop healthier coping patterns, and work toward clearer personal goals.

Integrative and Trauma-Informed Online Therapy

Nicola uses an integrative approach that brings together different evidence-based techniques to suit each person’s needs. Integrative therapy involves drawing from several proven methods to address emotional difficulties, relationship patterns, and coping strategies in a way that fits the individual.

She also employs trauma-informed work focused on supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape. This approach recognises how traumatic experiences affect thinking, emotion, and behaviour, and it helps people process those impacts while rebuilding a sense of safety and self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques and pace according to individual goals, preferences, and progress. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to address stress, anxiety, grief, attachment concerns, and related issues.

Online therapy with Nicola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to work with clients across locations, making it easier to sustain regular sessions while balancing daily life.
