MSc. Psychotherapist
Healing Happens in Safe Spaces.
Results-driven psychotherapy grounded in UK clinical standards. As an integrative psychotherapist, I provide a targeted approach to mental health by addressing the underlying origins of depression, anxiety, and trauma. My method integrates advanced CBT techniques with an understanding of the unconscious mind to deconstruct limiting core beliefs and foster psychological resilience through evidence-based practice.
Let’s be honest—therapy has been unfairly judged for way too long, and in some places, it still is. But here’s the thing: struggling doesn’t mean you’re broken, and getting support doesn’t mean you’re weak. If anything, facing your challenges head-on is a power move.
Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health—so why not give it the care it needs? You wouldn’t ignore a broken arm, right?
Taking care of your mental health isn’t just self-care—it’s self-respect.
I create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to address your mental health challenges. I combine different therapeutic approaches to create a personalized experience for you.
Glad you're here!
Hi, I’m Nikki (Arezu) Nikukar.
I’m a licensed integrative psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Clinical Applications of Psychology, and advanced psychotherapy training (TC-L4), all completed in London.
Dedicated Clinical Experience
My professional background is deeply rooted in supporting highly vulnerable communities. Working alongside asylum seekers and refugees in London who were navigating complex PTSD, severe anxiety, and deep-seated depression has profoundly shaped my clinical perspective. Witnessing such immense human resilience reinforced my commitment to providing specialized, compassionate care that holds space for the heaviest of challenges.
A Culturally Aware Perspective
Having trained and built my practice in London—one of the world's most diverse hubs—and through my ongoing work across international platforms, I connect with clients from a wide spectrum of backgrounds. I recognize that your cultural context plays a vital role in how you experience the world, and I ensure your unique background is deeply respected and integrated into our therapeutic work.
My Clinical Approach
Integrative psychotherapy means your treatment is as unique as you are. Rather than forcing your experience into a single framework, I look at the whole picture—your thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and your nervous system.
At the core of my practice is an understanding of how our brains are "programmed" by past environments. In our sessions, we will use the structured tools of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to map out your current thought loops and triggers. Once we understand what is happening on the surface, we safely explore the unconscious mind to understand why. By addressing this deeper neurological programming, we don't just manage your symptoms; we actively rewrite the patterns keeping you stuck, ensuring you get support that truly fits your journey.
You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.
