Reasons for Considering individual Psychotherapy & Counselling with Nadine Dixon
I am a UKCP-accredited integrative psychotherapist working therapeutically with adults. My professional training has a strong foundation in the expressive and therapeutic arts, which continue to form an important part of my approach.
I offer a supportive and creative space, drawing upon expressive arts, depth-oriented psychotherapy and somatic approaches according to the needs of each individual. Creativity, imagery and the expressive arts can offer another language for exploring experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone.
I bring a highly skilled, trauma-informed and deeply relational approach to my work, with compassion, sensitivity and curiosity at its heart. I value working collaboratively, honouring each person’s unique history, nervous system and pace, and creating space for insight, healing and meaningful change.
My work is also informed by spirituality where this feels meaningful to you, offering an additional lens for reflection, transformation and connection. I honour each person’s unique way of being and walking in the world, supporting greater self-understanding, wellbeing and a deeper sense of wholeness.
Areas I work with:
Some of the areas I work with include, though are not limited to:
- Anger and strong emotions
- Anxiety, worries, fears, and panic
- Family relationships and friendships
- Bereavement, grief and living losses
- Chronic pain and health challenges
- Creative exploration and self-expression
- Family relationships and friendships
- Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) exploration
- Identity, difference and neurodiversity
- Loneliness and finding connection
- Low mood and depression
- Joy and reconnecting with joy
- Relationship concerns
- Self-esteem, self-worth and confidence
- Stress, feeling stuck or overwhelmed
- Trauma, including developmental trauma and traumatic bereavement
- Work-related stress and pressure
The way I work and therapies I offer
I offer both short and long-term online psychotherapy for adults via video, with an approach individually tailored to your needs.
My intention is to nurture self-compassion, strengthen self-worth and support greater emotional balance. My work is informed by a spiritual perspective where this feels meaningful to you, creating space for deeper reflection, meaning-making and connection to your inner resources.
I aim to support you in developing a greater understanding of yourself, your relationships and your experiences, while finding ways of living that feel more authentic, grounded and aligned with what gives your life meaning and direction.
Integrative Psychotherapy
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches and adapt my way of working to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular model of therapy.
Our therapeutic relationship forms an important part of this work. Together, we may explore your experiences, emotions, relationships, strengths and beliefs within a compassionate and non-judgmental space.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed and sensitive to the ways in which our earlier experiences can continue to shape our emotions, relationships and ways of being in the world.
Expressive and Creative Approaches
My professional psychotherapy training has a strong foundation in the therapeutic use of the expressive arts, and creativity continues to be an integral part of my practice.
Sometimes words alone do not fully capture our experience. Where it feels helpful, we may draw upon imagery, metaphor, visual expression, creative writing, physical sensations and other forms of creative exploration as additional ways of understanding and expressing what is happening within.
These approaches can allow thoughts, feelings and experiences to emerge in ways that may be difficult to reach through conversation alone.
There is no expectation to be artistic or to have any previous experience of working creatively. The emphasis is not upon creating a finished piece of art, but upon allowing creativity and imagination to become another means of exploration, reflection and communication within the therapeutic relationship.
Bereavement Therapy
I have several years’ experience supporting people through bereavement and grief, including professional experience within a well-known bereavement charity.
Within my private practice, I offer a compassionate space for those experiencing many different forms of bereavement and living loss, including the death of a child, parent, sibling, partner, friend or other significant person, as well as sudden, unexpected and traumatic bereavement.
There is space to share and express whatever your experience of grief may bring, without expectation that it should follow a particular path or timescale.
Creative Clinical Supervision
I also welcome enquiries from therapists and practitioners seeking clinical supervision.
My approach to supervision is collaborative, relational and creative, offering space to reflect upon clinical work, therapeutic relationships, professional development and the emotional dimensions of practice.
Where useful, expressive and experiential approaches may also be incorporated into supervision to support reflection and deepen understanding.
Psychotherapy Qualifications and Training
I am a UKCP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist and work in accordance with UKCP professional standards and ethical principles.
I hold an MA in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy from the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE). This is the formal title of my postgraduate qualification.
I have also completed training in Counselling Skills, a Postgraduate Certificate in the Therapeutic Arts, and AEDP Immersion Skills training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.
I am a member of the Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy Institute (AEDP).
Alongside my core psychotherapy training, my approach is informed by a range of further professional, experiential and spiritual study, including Creative Clinical Supervision with the London Centre for Psychodrama; Introduction to Somatic Experiencing® with SOS Internationale; Soul Midwife training in end-of-life care with Felicity Warner and The Soul Midwives School; two Breathwork Facilitator certifications with The School of Prana, Lisbon; and a three-year Advanced Shamanic Studies programme with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Europe (FSSE).
