Meet The Team
Dr Nicola James
Consultant Counsellor
I’m Dr Nicola James, a Consultant Counsellor with extensive experience in mental health, brief therapy, and team supervision within the Scottish NHS and university settings. My work focuses on providing compassionate, effective support to individuals and teams, helping them navigate challenges with clarity and resilience.
Throughout my career, I have managed two university mental health teams, specialising in brief therapy—a focused, results-driven approach to counselling. Alongside this, I have served as a Chaplain at Interfaith Chaplaincies across Glasgow Caledonian, Glasgow, and Edinburgh Universities, offering a listening ear, workshops, and retreats to support individuals on their personal and spiritual journeys.
Currently, I facilitate staff team supervision at Edinburgh University, run a private online counselling practice, and continue to lead a healing group in West Scotland. My approach is rooted in creating safe, reflective spaces where individuals and teams can explore, heal, and grow.
At Westbourne Medical Studios, I bring my expertise in counselling, supervision, and emotional well-being to support clients in navigating life’s complexities with greater ease and self-awareness. Whether through one-to-one counselling, group facilitation, or therapeutic guidance, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
