About Nicole

Nicole offers both short-term and longer-term support and blends counselling with coaching when that suits a person's goals.

Her sessions are calm and practical. She listens first and helps people name what feels hard. Conversations may focus on reactions in the body as well as thoughts, because she uses somatic approaches alongside talking therapies.

Background and approach

Nicole helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy problems, parenting strains, bereavement and career uncertainty. Addiction and anger are also areas she can address during sessions.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques, while keeping the person's lived experience at the centre. Sessions can be adapted to focus on immediate coping skills or deeper personal change depending on what the person needs. Nicole offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Appointments are available via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy operates on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books a session according to the therapist's schedule.

How Nicole blends approaches for online work

Nicole combines somatic work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people both physically and mentally. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and can help when stress or trauma shows up in the body. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and flexible action, helping people move forward even with difficult thoughts and feelings.

She also uses Client-Centred techniques to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what the person wants to achieve and together they will decide which methods feel most useful for the work ahead.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or health constraints while still accessing supportive, structured sessions.
