Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with addiction, sleeping and eating problems, anger, depression, and life changes such as separation or bereavement. Her approach draws on body-focused Somatic work alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. Nicola uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools when helpful.

Sessions are adapted to the person and paced to what feels manageable. In practice Nicola listens for patterns in how bodies and relationships respond to stress. She helps people notice physical sensations, emotional reactions and unhelpful thinking.

Together she and the client work out steps to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day coping. Nicola describes therapy as a collaborative process. She will tailor a plan to each person’s goals and needs.

Small, practical steps and clear explanations are offered throughout the work.

How somatic and relational approaches work online

Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress. Online sessions can include guidance to notice breathing, posture and simple grounding exercises that help reduce tension and increase emotional awareness.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns. Online conversations can explore these patterns, helping people recognise repeating dynamics and practise new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree a collaborative plan. That plan can change as you learn what helps most for your situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives and for those who live far from in-person services. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit people who prefer voice-only contact, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for ongoing check-ins and brief coping support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and to continue work when travel or mobility is a challenge.
