About Nancy
Nancy Brookes is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also helps those grappling with grief, loss and major life changes.
She aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and manageable. Sessions are intended to be a calm space where a person can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Background and approach
Nancy encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. Her work pays attention to how anxiety and panic can affect day-to-day functioning, and she offers ways to manage intense moments. She also addresses issues linked to relationships, sexuality, self-worth and the emotional effects of illness such as cancer.
Nancy combines listening with practical tools so people can try things between sessions. She supports clients dealing with guilt, shame and social anxiety, and she tailors the approach to each person’s needs. The focus is on clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon.
If someone prefers remote contact, Nancy offers telephone, video and text-based options. The aim is to make therapy fit into busy lives and varied routines while working towards clearer coping and more helpful patterns of thinking.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Online work often uses evidence-based techniques that are clear and practical. One common approach focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood; it offers step-by-step activities and experiments to try between sessions. Another approach used in online counselling helps people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life by working slowly through feelings and responses in a supportive way.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what you find helpful, and how you prefer to work. From there she will shape sessions to match your needs and pace so you feel involved in each step.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging is useful for people who prefer writing or a flexible schedule. These options help people access consistent support without long travel times or rigid scheduling.
