Nikki Nikukar
MSc. Psychotherapist
Healing Happens in Safe Spaces.
I am a UK- and UAE- based accredited integrative psychotherapist, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs and goals. My practice is grounded in creating a supportive, adaptable space where we can work together to address your mental health challenges helping you to foster resilience and personal growth.
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!
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.
My journey
I was born and raised in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, before heading out at fifteen. I spent my high school years in Geneva, Switzerland, then lived in the UK for almost 20 years. Now, I split my time between London and Dubai.
A Global Perspective
Working in London, a super lively and diverse city, and with international platforms has allowed me to connect with people from all over. These experiences shape my open-minded, flexible, and culturally aware approach to therapy.
Charity Work & Supporting Vulnerable Communities
I’ve had the privilege of working with asylum seekers and refugees in London, providing therapy to individuals facing challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Witnessing their resilience has deepened my compassionate and culturally sensitive approach. Their strength inspires my commitment to guiding others on their healing journey.
Private Practice & Tailored Therapy
In my private practice, I support clients from all walks of life, offering personalized therapy for challenges such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Drawing from my diverse experience, I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs, creating a compassionate and supportive space for healing.
Integrative psychotherapy and counselling combine different therapeutic approaches to create a personalized experience for each client. Instead of sticking to one method, it draws on various techniques—like blending ingredients in a recipe—to fit your unique needs. It looks at the whole person: your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even social or spiritual aspects. The idea is to tailor the therapy to you, not the other way around, making sure you get support that truly fits your journey.
INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY
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.
