About Nicola
Nicola Biggs is a counsellor who helps people who are anxious, stressed, or coping with big life changes. She works with people facing relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, addiction concerns and the impact of trauma. Nicola holds NCPS and brings six years of practice experience in the UK.
Her approach centres on the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped by what the client wants to address and the pace they prefer.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred methods so people feel heard and respected while they talk through difficult topics. Nicola uses a mix of methods to suit different needs. Mindfulness techniques help with overwhelming anxiety and stress by teaching grounding and breathing practices.
Solution-focused ideas allow for setting practical, short-term goals that feel achievable between sessions. She also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused perspectives when exploring past events that continue to affect current feelings and relationships. These approaches help uncover patterns and build understanding rather than rushing straight to solutions.
Nicola has worked in local mental health settings and schools before practising privately, which informs her grounded, approachable style. People who come to her often want a calm, steady space to make sense of painful experiences and start making manageable changes.
How Nicola's approaches work online
Nicola often uses client-centred work which focuses on the person and their priorities. In practice this means sessions follow what you bring, with the counsellor reflecting and asking questions to help you make sense of things. Mindfulness techniques are also used to teach simple grounding and breathing skills that reduce overwhelming anxiety in the moment. These are practical tools you can use between sessions to manage stress.She combines these with trauma-focused ideas when past events continue to shape how someone feels or behaves now. That approach looks at the impact of those events and supports small, steady steps towards feeling safer and more in control. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together - Nicola will talk through options and adapt methods to fit your needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy with Nicola uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the process, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
