A warm welcome by Dr Nick
I am Dr Nick Zygouris, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist offering in-person therapy in Birmingham and online therapy across the UK. My approach is thoughtful, evidence-based and tailored to you, not simply to a diagnosis.
Therapy offers a space to slow things down, talk openly, and make sense of what has been difficult. Sessions are collaborative and carefully paced. You will not be judged, rushed or given generic advice. Together, we focus on understanding your difficulties properly, identifying what may be keeping them going, and developing a clear therapeutic plan that fits your needs.
I support people experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, chronic health-related distress, intense emotions, and more complex or longstanding difficulties. I also work with couples and families who want to repair, strengthen or better understand their relationships.

Mental Health & Therapy Tips for Real Life
Dr Nick’s Mental Health Blog
Let’s talk about suicide
On September 10th, the world came together for World Suicide Prevention Day, shining a light on a pressing issue. With the theme of "Creating Hope Through Action," the focus was on understanding the causes of suicide and its profound impact on individuals and their loved ones. Suicidal thoughts can stem from various factors, such as overwhelming difficulties, strained relationships, guilt, or grief. Often, it becomes a last resort for those who feel trapped or alone. But help is available, and it's essential to address wider mental health issues, like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, which can arise from the loss of a loved one to suicide. Together, we can support each other and find the tools to create a brighter future.
How to cope with back-to-school stress
September marks the back-to-school period for many children across the UK and the end of six weeks of holiday time for parents. However, whilst it is a sigh of relief for children to go back to school for many, the end of the summer holiday stress can be just the start of a new set of pressures that comes with new term time.
Where to look for inspiration when nothing seems to work
Inspiration comes and goes, and for creatives, it can be particularly stressful if they hit a wall, coming up blank with innovative ideas, normally when needed most. This lack of inspiration can lead to someone experiencing anxiety and other bad mental health issues. Read here with some helpful tips to find inspiration when inspiration seems lost.
How to tell if you are gambling too much?
Gambling is a serious addiction that can totally shatter the lives of those who suffer and those around them in many ways. Those who gamble normally do so under the guise of money gained easily. Gambling addiction can affect someone's health, finances, and relationships with others.
How to support the Mental Health of young people
The National Centre for Social Research recently found that young people with mental health issues are three times less likely to pass their GCSE exams when compared to their peers. Therefore, it is more important than ever for a young person support network to rally around an individual if needed.
Your core beliefs shape your world, but they are not always right
It is easier for us to admit when our thoughts and feelings are causing us harm than when our Core beliefs are. Our thoughts and feelings eventually tend to attract the attention of ourselves and others.
