River Jordan Counselling Service and Consultancy

Hello, I’m Nigel Jordan, a professionally accredited integrative counsellor with over 15 years of experience, proudly registered with the National Counselling Society. (NCS). I specialise in supporting individuals, particularly adult men from disadvantaged and underrepresented communities, who are dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, and racial trauma.

My therapeutic approach is designed to empower clients, offering them a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions. Together, we work through any arising issues, while also focusing on building self-reliance and teaching you tools for personal growth. My counselling style incorporates person-centred and solution-focused techniques, as well as Behaviour Activation strategies, such as using a thought diary and signposting to well-being recovery resources, ensuring tailored support for your journey to well-being.

What Can I Offer You?

I offer flexible counselling sessions through a variety of platforms, including Face-to-Face, Telephone, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp. My sessions are structured to fit your needs, with six person-centered sessions (each up to 50 minutes) designed to guide you through the therapeutic process at your own pace.

The first session serves as an initial assessment, where we’ll go over your needs, set goals, and complete a health questionnaire to track your progress. This ensures we’re fully aligned to help you on your path to recovery.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book your first session. I’m here to support your journey towards mental well-being.

How much is each session and what is the cancellation period?

The standard fee is £60 per session and a cancellation fee is incurred if 24 hours’ notice is not given.

Nigel is fantastic. His support and understanding has been a tremendous help for my mental wellbeing which has drastically improved since starting therapy with him. Despite being initially hesitant about therapy, I immediately trusted Nigel within the first moments of starting counselling with him, and maintained that high level of trust eversince. He has been flexible around my chaotic schedule and checking in with him on a weekly basis has been a huge help and a pleasure to keep up. I couldn’t have asked for a better suited and more capable therapist than Nigel.

From the first few Minutes with Mr. Nigel I felt a level of ease that made me really open up and discuss sensitive points in a way that didn’t make me feel guilty or sad. He very well understood my feelings and situation and was able to navigate my emotions and mindset properly. Overall I left the session feeling more grounded and awear of my situation in a way that gave me more clarity. I strongly recommend Mr. Nigel and I look forward to other sessions with him.

Nigel has been great at listening to my concerns and making me feel confortable to share and be honest. He is relatable and gives his honest opinion when making suggestions. He creates proactive plans for me to learn how to deal with my problems and hopefully become self-sufficient in navigating my way through life long term.
