Nicolas Mcqueen

Nicolas McQueen believes that life satisfaction is profoundly linked to the quality of relationships individuals have with others and, most importantly, the relationship they maintain with themselves. He emphasizes that both relationships can be enhanced through a better understanding of one’s past and adapting responses in the present. In therapy, Nicolas guides clients in practicing new ways to experience their difficult emotions, making them more manageable and less intimidating. Together with his clients, he explores the narratives that shape their identities—understanding who they are, who they feel they should be, and how these perceptions have evolved over time. This process fosters increased self-understanding and self-compassion.

Nicolas employs a combination of mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and psychodynamic principles to facilitate deeper self-exploration and insight into emotional experiences. His approach is designed to help clients achieve a life centered on personal contentment and freedom. Influenced by renowned thinkers such as Rilke, Maya Angelou, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sam Harris, and Tony Kris, Nicolas creates a welcoming atmosphere in which clients can feel comfortable and safe.

One of the key aspects of positive change, according to Nicolas, is the therapeutic relationship itself—second only to an individual’s motivation to change. His genuine willingness to be open, honest, and vulnerable with his clients enables them to feel at ease, fostering an environment conducive to growth and transformation. Nicolas eagerly looks forward to the opportunity to learn about every individual he works with.
