About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor with NCPS who has practised for 25 years in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Nels frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to draw on their own strengths as they work toward change.
Nels uses a range of therapeutic ideas to suit different needs. She blends person-centred listening with cognitive approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based ways of working are used when relationships and connection are central to the difficulty. Sessions are practical and grounded. Nels helps people identify tools to manage worry, cope with strong feelings, and rebuild self-belief.
She also offers counselling combined with massage in face-to-face work and uses writing as a therapeutic exercise when it feels helpful. Her experience covers adults from many backgrounds and nationalities. Nels emphasises empathy, responsibility and self-agency while supporting people to explore painful memories or overwhelming emotions.
She aims to help clients build clearer communication and healthier patterns in relationships. People who contact Nels can expect calm listening, direct but gentle feedback, and collaborative planning. She encourages small, sustainable steps so progress can feel manageable.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental, focused on helping people find their own solutions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on connection and patterns in relationships. Online sessions let people reflect on how they relate to others and practise new ways of connecting in everyday life. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening, empathy and the client's own pace; it helps people feel heard and find their own answers in an online conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses exercises that suit remote formats, such as thought records and short between-session tasks.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expression and share material on screen. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief reflection, journalling prompts or support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
