About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a counsellor practising from the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She trained in person-centred counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. Nicola aims to make it easier to reach out by offering a calm, warm, and non-judgemental space.
Her approach is client-led and flexible. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
Background and approach
She draws on person-centred ideas alongside other methods to suit different needs. Nicola helps people who are facing anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties. She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas she supports include body image, chronic health issues, attachment concerns and adoption and foster care matters. Sessions are available online by video, by telephone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. That variety lets people choose what fits their life and routine best.
Nicola offers an initial brief conversation to discuss how she might help and what format would suit. Her practice rests on respect for each person's story and the belief people have the capacity to change. Conversations are practical and rooted in the client’s goals, with the therapist adapting methods to meet those aims.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger anxiety or difficulty with close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people to make sense of their own experience and set their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve focus in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This collaborative process means approaches can be adapted over time to suit what is proving helpful.
Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and use non-verbal communication, while telephone sessions work well when bandwidth is poor or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter, more frequent exchanges and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
