Welcome to Nicola Dilenardo Therapy
Hi, I'm Nicola and I’d love to help you.
The fact you've landed here on this page means you're likely struggling with something and are looking for some help. That's where I come in. I offer a safe confidential space, free from judgement and prejudice, to talk through whatever challenge you may be facing. I work in a collaborative manner with my clients to help navigate issues and work on processing emotions and building resilience.
I know it can be daunting to reach out for help in the first place, but I assure you it will be worthwhile. Even just talking things through with someone who's completely removed from the situation can be incredibly helpful, and then we can look to work on techniques to help you move forward.
It is really important that you click with your counsellor which is why I offer a free initial phone consultation, so we can chat about what you are looking for help with ,and make sure we are a good fit for each other.
As a qualified, registered counsellor I focus my practice on the person centred approach. I will also draw on my knowledge of humanistic modalities, which enables me to work with a wide range of issues and experiences.
I offer in person appointments at The Grove Therapy Rooms in Ilkley, which is a short walk from the train station or main car park.
I can also see clients from anywhere online.

I attend monthly clinical supervision to ensure I continue to practice safely, within ethical guidelines.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and work towards their ethical framework.
Along with my private work, I am also the Lead Counsellor for an NHS GP Practice, managing counselling placements. Within this role I also facilitate a Well Being Hub, providing a safe, confidential space for the community to come together to support one another in times of stress.
Individual Counselling
I offer individual one on one counselling sessions where my primary goal is to offer a secure and confidential environment in which clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. In this safe space, clients are encouraged to share their concerns, struggles, and aspirations openly, knowing that their privacy and confidentiality are respected.
Individual counselling involves one-on-one sessions between the client and myself, the therapist. These sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual, allowing for personalised support and guidance throughout the therapeutic process. Whether clients are grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or any other challenges, they can expect compassionate and professional assistance in navigating their difficulties.
The counselling process typically begins with an initial assessment, during which clients have the opportunity to discuss their reasons for seeking therapy and outline their objectives. Together, we collaboratively develop a treatment plan that outlines the focus areas and strategies for achieving the desired outcomes. Throughout the counselling journey, clients are encouraged to provide feedback and adjust their goals as needed, ensuring that the therapy remains relevant and effective.
In each counselling session, clients can expect to receive empathetic listening, validation of their experiences, and support in exploring their thoughts and feelings. Through active listening and reflective techniques, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and authenticity. Clients are empowered to express themselves freely and work through their challenges at their own pace, with guidance and encouragement provided along the way.
By offering individual insured counselling services, I aim to make mental health support accessible and affordable for individuals seeking assistance. My commitment to confidentiality, professionalism, and client centered care ensures that each individual receives the attention and support they need to thrive.
