About Nick
Nick Shepley is a counsellor with seven years of experience helping people work through anxiety, addiction and relationship strain. He holds BACP accreditation and practices from the United Kingdom. Nick aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Nick keeps sessions practical and conversational. He listens to what matters most and uses that to set simple, realistic goals together. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that can make a difference in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
He blends cognitive approaches with motivational interviewing and narrative ideas. That means working on thoughts and behaviours, finding motivation to change, and making sense of personal stories that shape how someone feels. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual rather than following a fixed script.
People come to Nick for many concerns, including stress, low mood, eating and body-image issues, addictions, grief, parenting strain and career worries. He also supports those dealing with attachment problems, shame, infidelity, and other relationship difficulties. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Nick helps people weigh practical options and choose a format that fits their life. He encourages small steps and clear actions so progress feels manageable. If someone is unsure how to begin, Nick suggests a short initial conversation to agree priorities and next steps.
That early chat helps people see whether his way of working feels right for them.
How Nick uses different approaches in online therapy
Nick commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety or addictive patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behaviour changes, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts commitment when someone feels stuck.He also uses Narrative Therapy ideas to help people reframe their life stories and see different possibilities. That approach can be helpful when past experiences keep shaping current patterns and self-image. Together, the therapist and client decide which approaches to use and adjust them over time, so the work matches the client's goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need flexibility around work and daily life. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while trying different ways of working until the best fit is found.
