At Niche Therapists, we support individuals and couples who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, mentally exhausted, or caught in patterns that are impacting their wellbeing, relationships, confidence, or everyday life.

Unlike large generic counselling services, we are a small team of experienced specialist therapists, with each therapist focusing on specific areas of expertise. Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CBT, Hypnotherapy, and Positive Psychology, we provide tailored support designed to help clients gain greater clarity, emotional resilience, healthier coping strategies, and meaningful long-term change.

Our Story

what our clients say

Our Google reviews highlight the real impact expert therapy can have & how we consistently deliver outstanding results.

Mike Howard

Having never received any counselling previously, I wasn’t sure what to expect but Nicola was very reassuring. The process which was actually fun – which is not a word I would have expected to have used when I first arrived!

Suki C

I can’t thank Sasha enough for guiding me through the difficult times. She’s reliable, attentive and professional. I was lucky to have her as my first
therapist and never needed to seek alternatives. I’ll definitely come back when I need
her support in the future

Lucy Cross

Best decision I have ever made! Sam really helped me put any feelings and emotions into a way that I could understand, such an uplifting person. If you are feeling like you need someone to talk to – Sam is your person to go to.

Camila Ferguson

Nicola was wonderful – she was patient, understanding and instinctively knew what was going on. I would recommend Nicola to anyone seeking to connect with themselves
again or gain a better understanding,

John Kiszley

Sasha basically saved my life. I feel like a completely different person, and wouldn’t be here without her intervention! If anyone is feeling a certain way, please reach out to Sasha, she is honestly one of the best people I will ever have had the pleasure to
cross paths with.

Warren Brown

I had some NLP with Sam as I had reached a point in my career where I was feeling stuck and unfulfilled. I was very sceptical of any form or therapy, however was delighted with how she mapped out a plan and addressed the underlying issues in very few sessions.

Frequently Asked questions & answers.

Below you’ll find answers to some of the questions we’re most commonly asked about our services, approach, and how therapy works.

What Conditions Do Your Counsellors and Hypnotherapists Treat in SE10, SE3 and SE18?

We support clients across Greenwich (SE10), Blackheath (SE3), and Woolwich (SE18) with a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • ADHD traits and focus challenges
  • Relationship issues and couples therapy
  • Addiction support (alcohol, smoking, habits)
  • Phobias and fears such as flying, driving, heights, or social anxiety

Our therapists tailor treatment to your emotional, psychological, and practical needs.

What’s the Difference Between Counselling and Hypnotherapy for Anxiety, ADHD and Addiction?

Counselling provides a safe, reflective space to explore thoughts, feelings, patterns, and relationships.
Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to support behavioural change, reduce fear responses, and calm the nervous system.

Many clients in SE10, SE3 and SE18 benefit from a blended approach that supports both insight and practical transformation.

Do You Offer Counselling and Coaching for Adults With ADHD Traits?

Yes. We work with adults experiencing ADHD traits such as overwhelm, difficulty focusing, emotional intensity, or inconsistent motivation.
A formal diagnosis is not required. Sessions focus on developing tools for:

  • emotional regulation
  • attention and focus
  • confidence
  • follow-through
  • daily structure

Support is available both online and in person across SE10, SE3 and SE18.

Can Counselling or Hypnotherapy Help With Anxiety and Panic Attacks?

Absolutely. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people in Greenwich, Blackheath, and Woolwich seek support.
We use evidence-based counselling techniques and hypnotherapy to help:

  • reduce overthinking
  • calm panic responses
  • break the cycle of fear
  • improve long-term emotional stability

Many clients begin to feel relief within a few sessions.

Do you offer your services online, including hypnotherapy?

Yes. We offer online sessions across all our services, including hypnotherapy. Online therapy is effective and widely used, offering flexibility while still allowing for focused, meaningful therapeutic work. Many people are surprised to learn that hypnotherapy works particularly well online, as hypnosis relies on relaxation, imagery, and focused awareness rather than physical presence. Clients often find that working from their own space helps them feel more comfortable and engaged.

What does couples therapy help with?

Our couples therapy service helps with:

  • communication issues
  • recurring conflict
  • emotional disconnection
  • rebuilding trust
  • navigating stress or life transitions

Couples therapy is available online or in-person across SE10, SE3 and SE18.

Can Hypnotherapy Help With Addictions, Such as Smoking or Alcohol Abuse?

Yes. We offer hypnotherapy for addictions across Greenwich (SE10), Blackheath (SE3) and Woolwich (SE18).
Hypnotherapy is highly effective for breaking unwanted habits, including:

  • Stop smoking hypnotherapy
  • Reducing alcohol use and addictive patterns
  • Changing stress-related or emotional habits

By working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps shift automatic behaviours and strengthens your sense of control, making long-term change more achievable.

Why Is Hypnotherapy and EMDR Combined Helpful With Addictions?

Both approaches target different layers of addictive behaviour:

Hypnotherapy helps:

  • reduce cravings
  • change subconscious habit loops
  • strengthen motivation
  • break emotional or stress-based triggers

EMDR helps:

  • process unresolved stress, trauma or shame that drive addictive behaviours
  • reduce the emotional pull of old patterns
  • build healthier coping responses

Together, EMDR and hypnotherapy address both the root causes of addiction and the habitual patterns that keep behaviours going.

Can Hypnotherapy Treat Phobias and Fears, Including Fear of Flying?

Absolutely. We provide phobia hypnotherapy for clients in SE10, SE3 and SE18, helping you overcome fears such as:

  • Fear of flying
  • Driving anxiety
  • Needle or medical phobias
  • Fear of heights, animals or enclosed spaces

Hypnotherapy retrains the subconscious fear response, allowing you to feel calmer, safer, and more in control in situations that previously caused anxiety.

How Quickly Does Hypnotherapy and Counselling Work?

The speed of results varies from person to person, but many clients begin noticing positive changes within the first few sessions.

Hypnotherapy often works quickly because it targets subconscious patterns. For issues such as phobias, anxiety triggers, stop smoking, or specific fears, people may experience improvement in 1–3 sessions, with deeper work continuing over time.

Counselling tends to create steady, meaningful change across several sessions as you explore patterns, emotions, and behaviours. Most clients begin to feel clearer and more regulated within 4–6 sessions, with longer-term work offering deeper insight and stability.

Both approaches can be effective on their own, but many people across SE10, SE3 and SE18 benefit from a combined approach, using hypnotherapy for quicker symptom relief and counselling for lasting emotional change.
