Background and approach
Nicola draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice how their body holds stress and to learn ways to respond differently. Nicola is BACP, which means she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of experience supporting people through difficult transitions and emotional pain.
Her background includes yoga teaching and coaching techniques to support practical change. In sessions she uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotionally focused work to help people clarify values, improve connection and manage painful emotions. She integrates body-based practices alongside talking therapy when helpful to ease anxiety and physical tension.
People meet Nicola for a calm, down-to-earth style. Conversations are straightforward and focused on building helpful habits and clearer thinking. She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels realistic and lasting.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nicola uses somatic-informed work to help people notice how stress and emotion appear in the body, and to develop simple body-based practices that reduce tension and anxiety. This can include breath work, grounding exercises and awareness of bodily signals that often accompany strong feelings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify what matters to each person and to build small, values-based steps towards those goals. ACT helps with anxiety, depression and life changes by focusing on meaningful action rather than eliminating all uncomfortable thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relationships and connection by looking at early patterns that affect trust and communication in adult life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicola will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of somatic practices, ACT and attachment-focused work fits their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy lives. These options make it possible to use hands-on guidance for breath and grounding exercises over video or to follow up with short messages between sessions. The variety of formats helps people access therapy alongside work, family and other commitments.
