About Nicola Rivers

Nicola Rivers is a Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and member of the Association of Child Psychotherapists. She provides short and long-term psychotherapy to children and young people across the age range, from birth up to 26 years old, offering both adolescent and teen counselling and general counselling sessions tailored to individual needs.

Her practice encompasses psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and young adults navigating key life transitions—from the turbulence of adolescence through to the journey into adulthood. She also offers parent-child psychotherapy and psychoanalytic psychotherapy for parents, recognising that the experience of parenthood brings both joy and complex emotional challenges. She has particular expertise in working with adopted and looked-after children, providing trauma-informed support to those with complex care histories.

In addition to direct client work, Nicola offers ADHD coaching, assessment, consultation services to professional networks, and clinical supervision to professionals who work with children and young people. She is an Associate Lecturer, Tutor and Supervisor at the Tavistock and Portman Centre NHS Trust, bringing deep clinical experience and training expertise to her supervisory practice.

Nicola offers all services in person and remotely via video and telephone, making her practice accessible regardless of location. Her approach is grounded in psychoanalytic theory and practice, offering clients and professionals alike a thoughtful, reflective space to explore emotional and relational difficulties. Whether you are a young person seeking support, a parent navigating the complexities of family life, or a professional seeking supervision and consultation, Nicola provides skilled, compassionate care.
