Our story

Founder

Hello buddies, I am Nic.

I founded UMA BOX from a foundation of deep love, passion, and frustration. As a childhood trauma survivor myself with Complex PTSD, I believe it is my life’s calling to be of service to other childhood trauma survivors.

Many things need to change in the arena of support for complex trauma. The current state is heartbreakingly poor, and I believe it is urgent to take action. How could I ever accept that so many complex trauma survivors don’t get the competent support they deserve? Hence, UMA BOX came to life.

Beyond therapy services, UMA BOX is on a mission to transform complex trauma awareness, education, and access to specialist care. We’re pushing for a mental health system where every therapist is skilled in complex trauma. Until then, we’re building the future we want.

Speak soon, All the Love.

What our clients say

I decided to pursue counseling through UMA BOX and the sessions I've had so far have helped me far more than anything I've done before. Sadly, this is not a free service, but it's worth so much and I will continue for as long as funds allow. I can see glimmers of my real self, my real worth, and my real potential underneath all the stories and bullshit that lingers as a result of my complex trauma.Thank you UMA BOX for raising awareness, and sourcing such incredible therapists, I am grateful.

- Carla , UK

My sessions with UMA BOX have been life changing. The sessions have been helping me process past trauma and build practical tools for healing. I’ve noticed big changes in how I cope and care for myself. I am so grateful for this specialist support.

- Diana, US

I’m very happy to have found you and to have found my therapist! If I could give you and your clinic/organization a rating it would be 10/10!!!!The work you are doing is sacred, sensitive, and soul changing! Perhaps, you were called to do just this meaningful work! God bless you.

- Lisa, USA

I cannot recommend this new therapy initiative for CPTSD highly enough. From the moment I connected with UMA BOX, I was taken by the warmth and authenticity that Nicole brings to her work. Her personal touch and genuine care make you feel seen and valued as an individual, not just another client.

- Anna, UK

A special shoutout to my therapist, Brigid, whose sensitivity and expertise have been transformative for me. Brigid has an incredible ability to navigate the complexities of CPTSD. She listens deeply, responds with kindness, and provides the tools and guidance I need to process my experiences and move forward.

- Maya, UK

Working with Nicole and UMA BOX was an incredible experience. Nicole spent so much time truly hearing my story, showing deep empathy and care throughout the entire process. She was highly professional, knowledgable about CPTSD, and went above and beyond to connect me with a therapist that perfectly fit my needs.I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole and UMA BOX to anyone considering their services.

- Alan, United States

My therapist is amazing, she has helped me so much, I would be lost without her.

- Hannah, UK

As someone living with complex trauma, I have felt that several therapists have not fully understood what is going on for me. The UMA BOX project is a groundbreaking initiative that addresses the gap for complex trauma in mental health care, the lack of understanding and skills to work with the profound consequences with someone like myself.

- Lukas, Germany

She is absolutely on the same page in terms of understanding CPTSD, trauma, ongoing abuse impact and I said it felt like she's the only therapist who has 'got me' in just one conversation. I didn't feel like I had to over-explain myself, she just understood, and that was profound.Your vetting is working. She was amazing.

- Rachel, UK

My therapist is amazing, what UMA BOX is doing is beautiful.

- Sonia, US

I'd really like to thank you for your work. For the first time I really feel seen and safe talking to a therapist, who gets and understands me. Your UMA BOX is a little gem for wounded souls.

- Natascha, Austria

I’d been searching for a therapist who truly understood my experiences and specialised in the kind of trauma I’d been through. Before finding UMA Box, I often felt lost and unsure whether anyone would be able to make sense of my history. Working with my therapist Nicole has been transformative, she has helped me understand myself, process difficult experiences, and genuinely move forward. I’ve seen real change and growth throughout our work together, and I couldn’t be happier that I found UMA BOX.

- Franky, UK

My therapist is amazing. She has really helped me so much with my complex trauma, I will be lost without her.

- Eva, UK

I was so impressed by my therapists being so receptive to me asking for some practical tools for life skills beyond my therapy, I was very impressed and feel very grateful for this support.

- Joanna, Germany

I am still shocked by how seen I felt by my therapist.

- Martina, Norway

Lifelong journey to find the right therapist, but happy I found you, and because of you I have a great therapist already.

- Anna, Singapore

I found them by accident and so happy I did.

- Emma, Netherlands
