Background and approach

Her background also includes supporting those with eating and food-related issues. In sessions she works collaboratively to identify the problems that are causing distress. She helps clients notice how issues affect identity, control, achievement and self-esteem.

Together they set goals and work towards manageable change rather than trying to fix everything at once. Nikki uses a trauma-informed approach and adapts methods to suit each person. She draws on client-centred listening, practical solution-focused tools, somatic work and trauma-focused techniques.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is one of the approaches she uses when appropriate. She aims to offer a patient and respectful space where people can talk through difficult topics. Nikki values cultural and sexual diversity and treats each person as the expert on their own story.

Her practice is aimed at helping clients feel more in control and more able to enjoy everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to you. It helps people feel heard and allows them to decide the next steps based on their own priorities. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, targets distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms. Solution-focused therapy looks at small, achievable changes and builds on what already works in someone’s life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as those discussions reveal what helps most. This collaborative stance means the plan can change if something is not working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing written support between longer sessions, making it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
