UK Therapy Guild

Welcome to UK Therapy Guild. I'm Nichola Doyle, Founder and your lead tutor. My path here combines over 20 years of dedicated experience in education with extensive qualifications: MA Education & Teaching, BA Hons Education (QTS), FdA Children’s Development & Learning, L6 Counselling Supervision, L5 Diploma in Hypnotherapy, and L5 Diploma in Integrative Counselling. I am also a Senior Accredited Member of the NCIP and ACCPH, and Member of the BACP.
After a rewarding career in teaching and management, I transitioned into the therapeutic field. This journey led me to train with UKAIT and gain invaluable experience, becoming a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist. Now, UK Therapy Guild proudly continues the esteemed classroom training legacy established by UKAIT.
My own practice, Bridge to the Other Side Counselling & Hypnotherapy, serves adults and young people, and I bring this extensive real-world experience directly into our training. I work across diverse settings, including schools and specialist services, utilising powerful tools such as EMDR, specialised addiction therapies, and trauma-informed techniques to help clients navigate complex challenges.
The very techniques you will master on this course are those I use daily, and I am honoured to guide you in developing the skills that have profoundly changed my life and the lives of my clients. I'm excited to share this transformative learning experience and embark on this journey together with you.
