About Nicky

She holds BACP registration and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self esteem.

Nicky encourages straightforward conversations about what is worrying someone now. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears so clients can make sense of their experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to each person - nobody is rushed and there is time to explore what matters most. She uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s priorities first. Mindfulness practices are offered when helpful to calm the mind and ground attention.
Solution-focused ideas help people set small, practical steps for change and build momentum. Nicky has worked with people facing life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, work-related stress, addictions and sleeping problems. She also supports people dealing with fertility issues, guilt, isolation and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Her style is direct, compassionate and practical. New clients are guided through the first steps and offered clear options for session formats. The aim is to make therapy useful and manageable alongside everyday life.
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Nicky uses client-centred counselling which puts the person’s priorities at the heart of the work. This means she follows what matters to the client, listens actively and helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings in their own words.She also offers mindfulness-based techniques to help calm anxious thoughts and improve focus. These are simple practices you can try during a session or between appointments to reduce tension and notice feelings without judgement.
Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, achievable steps toward change. When someone wants practical progress, this approach helps set clear goals and track improvements over time.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which methods feel most useful based on current needs, goals and preferences. This can change as therapy progresses and new priorities appear.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
