Nik Ramsay Trease

A deep love for psychology and neuroscience has always fueled my journey throughout life. I started my career in the late nineties, working with adults with mental health issues in a clinical setting before pursuing a successful career in the corporate world. I have a passion for understanding how to help people with all aspects of anxiety, however it manifests, whether that be in general life or specifically work-related.

Through leading and supporting teams of high-performing individuals prone to chronic stress, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and burnout, I saw these challenges amplify during the COVID-19 pandemic. I decided to take the bold step of leaving the corporate world to focus solely on supporting others to improve their mental health.

I wanted to return to my academic roots in Psychology and apply my skills to a wider range of individuals. So, I pursued a Master's degree in Applied Neuroscience and trained to become a professional and fully qualified counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Anxiety can be incredibly debilitating, often leaving individuals feeling trapped and unable to function as they normally would. It can paralyse one's ability to make decisions, to perform daily tasks, and engage in social interactions, significantly impacting overall well-being and quality of life.

For many, it may have been a constant presence for many years, so it's essential to tailor the sessions differently for everyone.

At Rewired Brain, I combine my years of professional experience with my passion for neuroscience to offer a unique and compassionate approach to counselling. I'm dedicated to helping others navigate challenges with anxiety and stress and rebalancing their well-being to enjoy their lives once more.

I am keen to ensure we go at the right speed for each client in sessions.

As a trained counsellor, I truly seek to understand each individual's needs and meet them wherever they are on their journey. For some, it may be crippling anxiety stopping them from functioning as they'd like, and for others, it may be finding coping mechanisms to help them improve their daily lives.

I draw on real-life experiences and the latest research in anxiety to build therapeutic relationships with clients and offer practical strategies when needed. This combination of counselling and neuroscience helps create a holistic and supportive environment for clients to move from surviving to thriving. It is the core of who I am as a professional and where my passion lies.
