Meet Nuala Dyer – Counselling, Mental Health and Reiki Support
As a qualified mental health nurse, registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, I began working in the NHS in 1998 and qualified in 2004. I also trained in Reiki over twenty years ago and am registered with the UK Reiki Federation. I underwent counselling training by the British Psychoanalytic Council at Gloucestershire Counselling Service, and I am a fully qualified psychodynamic counsellor, registered with the MBACP.
My Professional Background
For almost 30 years, I have worked in a variety of settings using different modalities across a wide range of difficulties, such as depression and anxiety, to serious mental health issues, relationship problems and complex trauma.
I’ve always enjoyed working with people therapeutically, and following on from my psychology degree, I began working in acute psychiatric inpatient care. I worked in the NHS for ten years, both in inpatient and community teams. I then moved to an education setting, establishing a Mental Health and Wellbeing Service within Student Services, and part of this was working with students with mental health difficulties for eleven years. In 2018, I began training in counselling and during this time returned to the NHS. I currently work as a mental health nurse and am part of the management team on an all-female 15 bedded acute psychiatric inpatient ward.
My Journey into Reiki
Since my early twenties, I’ve always been naturally drawn to alternative therapies, and I practised Reiki on myself for years. By 2018, I had gained a Level 2 in Reiki to provide professional services for individuals. When working with a client today, whether that’s counselling or mental health packages, I will always incorporate mind and body in my approach. In Reiki, you can use symbols to determine the root cause of presenting symptoms, whether that is physical or emotional. Reiki can help with so many different areas, from hormonal issues, PMS, fertility or conception to stress and anxiety.
I enjoy facilitating growth and empowerment to help individuals find their own inner voice. Clients develop resilience and gradually feel more at peace with themselves, so they can enjoy a more content, happier life. I work in a boundaried, but caring way, and am continually exploring and reviewing how Reiki can be integrated into psychodynamic counselling.
Get in touch
Ready to start? Book an appointment by calling 07882 201264 or using the contact form. I will get back to you within 24 hours to arrange an initial FREE 20-minute informal consultation.
I will talk you through my approach to counselling or how Reiki works and will ask you what brings you to Counselling or why you are seeking Reiki and what you want to achieve. If I feel I can help you and you want to work with me, we can arrange our first session.
First Session
This is an assessment session and different to the standard counselling session. It’s an opportunity for us to meet and see if we feel comfortable to work together. During this session, I will be asking more detailed questions about your history and your current situation. Counselling sessions that follow the assessment session will be led by you.
