<h1>Nicola Jourdan B.A. Law, PGDip, M.Sc. Addictions Psychology & Counselling</h1>
<p>I am experienced in providing therapy to people from a wide variety of social backgrounds and cultures. My particular areas of expertise are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li class="style1">family and relationship difficulties</li>
<li class="style1">addiction to drugs and alcohol</li>
<li class="style1">gambling addiction</li>
<li class="style1">love and sex addiction</li>
<li class="style1">codependency</li>
<li class="style1">childhood trauma</li>
<li class="style1">eating disorders</li>
</ul>
<p>I work at Kairos, an addictions treatment centre in South London, and I am a sessional therapist at the Priory hospital. I have an MSc in the psychology of addiction and counselling and a post-graduate diploma in the psychodynamics of human development.</p>
<p>To begin with, I offer an initial consultation to all prospective clients. This provides an opportunity for an assessment to be made of the presenting needs and issues of each individual, and then a chance to discuss together the best way forward. This will sometimes involve me suggesting that a different form of therapy or treatment may be better suited to you.</p>
<p>My approach does not consist of a formula applied to all patients, but is uniquely centred around each individual. More details of this approach can be found under the relevant section of the website.</p>
