Nicholas Rose - Psychotherapist & Counsellor Relationships and Individuals

Years in profession - Since 2002

Nicholas Rose is a psychotherapist registered with the UKCP working with adults both individually and their relationships; offering personal therapy both Online and In Person in Chiswick and in Cirencester GL7.

Since starting in private practice in 2006, his patients have brought concerns such as anxiety, panic attacks, unhappiness, loneliness, disappointment, depression, compulsive behaviours, sex and relationship issues, bipolar and anxiety disorders, neurodiversity, dyslexia and ADHD. 

Nicholas has worked with relationships, including gender, sexuality and relationship diversity (GSRD), where concerns have included infidelity, sexual concerns, fertility, parenting, violence and abuse, compulsivity, communication problems, separation, divorce, depression, mediation and loss. Nicholas is also the author of Better Together, a book about relationships based on his work as a relationship therapist.

For relationships, Nicholas also offers intensive therapy where a set of sessions is delivered in a single day, this can be at the weekend, online and in Chiswick or at a location more convenient for you. This option is helpful for relationships in crisis and where busy lifestyles mean that organising regular weekly sessions is difficult.

Nicholas started to think of counselling and psychotherapy as his career in 2002, his first six years of training and experience included working with severe and long term mental health concerns including psychosis and complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) with torture survivors. Since 2009 his clinical supervisor has been the existential psychotherapist, psychologist, teacher and writer, Professor Ernesto Spinelli. 

Alongside private practice Nicholas works as a psychotherapist with refugees through the United Nations / UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS).

He established Nicholas Rose & Associates when it became apparent a private practice was needed to offer a range of services from a team experienced specifically in private practice personal therapy. He has contributed to a number of local and national publications including the Financial Times, Daily Telegraph, Metro, Chiswick Herald, Chiswick Calendar, Means Happy and made a number of appearances as a therapist on TV and radio including BBC, Times Radio, Sky News and My Naked Secret. He has previously and is currently able to provide ethics and wellbeing consultancy to businesses and the film and television industry.  

Nicholas qualified in London following a five-year postgraduate training that included the BACP registered training path in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of East London, followed by an advanced training in Existential Psychotherapy at Regents College to achieve registration with the UKCP. Nicholas has further trainings in  Psychosexual Therapy, Couples Therapy and specialist concerns of suicide, sexual abuse, PTSD, neuroscience and trauma, clinical assessments, psychiatric medications, mindfulness and focusing.

Prior to training as a psychotherapist Nicholas had a corporate career, spanning some fifteen years, this included experience of senior management positions with an emphasis on marketing and strategy within the retail, telecommunications, internet and not-for-profit sectors, both domestically and internationally. He has lived and worked abroad including periods spent in Italy, Switzerland and Ireland.

Nicholas says:

“You will be coming for therapy because something is wrong for you. If I am working with you as an individual we will together seek to establish what the 'wrong' is and therefore look for ways in which you find might a resolution. If you are bringing your relationship we will be meeting to establish what the 'wrong' is in your relationship dynamic so that you can move forward.”
