About Nick Pearson

The New Path

Nick was born into a background where a traditional career choice was expected. Entering a world of studying eastern spiritual traditions and philosophy in combination with western psychological practice would not have been predicted. Nick was born India and grew up in north Lancashire. After being educated at Radley College Oxford he was commissioned into the Green Jackets and engaged in operations in Europe, Africa and Asia. After the army he turned to the business world, developing an air freight chartering company, sitting on the boards of Virgin Atlantic and Intercontinental Hotels, and was Chairman, and one of the founder shareholders, of PureGym.

However, in 2002,  aged nearly 60 and a successful businessman, Nick became increasingly aware of a lack of fulfillment. He decided to follow his instincts and train as a counsellor with the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust, which had Jungian roots. Nick gained his post graduate diploma from the University of East London in 2004.

Things began to fall into place for him, and his London practice grew quickly, supported by central London GP’s. His practice is based in London.  

The Work

Nicholas Pearson is a Counsellor who offers a psychotherapeutic service in Central London, both online and in person. Nick seeks to help clients learn to manage both physical and mental disturbances. His approach is to empower clients to learn to manage their own return to balance and health and this leads to a need for fewer sessions.

Many clients come to Nick because they suffer with the physiological effects of stress. Stress, in his view, acts as one of the primary factors behind many autoimmune conditions and Nick specialises in helping with these conditions.

The principal tools he uses to alter these states are awareness, breath work and visualisation. Clients who are ready and open to work in this way can experience material changes in a few sessions.
