About Nicola
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nicola brings six years of professional experience to her work and shapes sessions around each person's needs. Sessions are intended to be a respectful space for talking and thinking through what is getting in the way.
Nicola combines client-centred ways of working with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. That means she will listen openly, then help identify practical steps and thought patterns that keep problems going. The balance between talking things through and trying specific techniques is decided together.
Her additional focus areas include relationship and communication problems, caregiving stress, issues linked to ageing, and responses to crisis or loss. Nicola also supports people facing challenges related to attachment, abandonment and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
She aims for clear, manageable goals and small changes that fit into everyday life. Nicola encourages people to take the next step gently and will work at a pace that suits each individual.

How Nicola’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on you as the expert in your own life. The counsellor listens without judgment and helps you explore feelings and thoughts at your own pace. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of their experiences.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and tries small changes to thinking and routine. This can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Working out which way of working will help most is a joint process. Nicola will discuss goals and preferences and then try different approaches together. The aim is to find a style that feels useful and practical for everyday life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work breaks or caregiving duties. It also allows for shorter check-ins or sessions when someone prefers not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools so therapy feels relevant, even when you are not meeting in person.
