About Nichola
Nichola Faiers is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, loss or low self-esteem. She offers a calm, welcoming space where clients can talk freely about what is worrying them. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on practical steps for everyday life.
Nichola is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She has three years of experience supporting people through grief and loss, depression, and life changes that feel hard to manage.
Background and approach
She also works with issues like body image, social anxiety, isolation and problems with communication. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred way of working. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to each client.
She believes people have inner resources to make changes and helps them access those strengths in the room. Nichola also takes a relational approach. She aims to build an honest, mutual connection so clients can explore feelings as they come up in the session.
Conversations often focus on thoughts and emotions in the present moment, not only past events. In practical terms she tailors the method to each person. Some sessions look at coping strategies and time management.
Others focus on processing grief, reducing social anxiety or rebuilding confidence. The pace and focus are decided together with the client.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Her person-centred approach focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the counsellor encourages people to speak about what matters most and explores feelings as they arise. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and building confidence by prioritising the client's own goals.A relational approach emphasises the connection between counsellor and client. Sessions look at how thoughts and emotions appear during the conversation, which can reveal patterns that keep anxiety or shame active. Working relationally online still allows for real, human contact and a chance to try different ways of responding to difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to match each person's needs, goals and preferences. That means methods may shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for more in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are well suited to short check-ins, written reflection or when fitting therapy around a busy day. Many people find these options make it easier to keep momentum and attend regularly.
