About Nigel
Nigel Jordan is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with NCPS accreditation and 16 years of experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. Nigel aims to offer a warm, respectful space where clients can be heard and begin to make changes.
Nigel’s background combines long clinical experience with private practice work. He draws on several approaches so sessions can include practical strategies, reflective conversations and attention to emotional connection. This mix helps when someone needs clearer thinking, improved communication or relief from intense feelings.
In sessions Nigel uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ways of working to help people improve how they relate to others. These methods are used alongside person-centred listening so the work stays grounded in each person’s experience.
He has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond core mood problems, including abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency and substance-related issues. Nigel also works with clients affected by trauma, domestic violence, dissociation and relationship breakdown.
Nigel aims to balance practical tools with space to reflect on meaning and values. Sessions typically focus on small, manageable steps you can try between meetings. He invites clients to shape the work so it fits their goals and day-to-day life.

How Nigel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Nigel often blends cognitive behavioural ideas with attachment-based and emotionally focused work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps improve closeness and trust. Emotionally focused therapy concentrates on feelings in relationships and can help rebuild connection and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nigel will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy if they move location or have commitments that make in-person meetings difficult. Nigel aims to adapt sessions to practical needs so the work fits everyday routines without adding extra strain.
