Background and approach

She also draws on attachment-focused work and client-centred ways of listening. This mix helps her respond to things like anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and life changes. Clients come with a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and career questions.

Nicola also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and body image concerns. She works with people across the LGBT community and those facing ageing or caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Nicola accepts international clients.

Therapy can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then books a session through the Start Therapy button.

Nicola aims to be collaborative and practical, helping people develop coping skills and a clearer sense of direction.

How Nicola’s approaches work online

Nicola uses somatic ideas that encourage people to notice physical signals like tension or breath changes, then links those sensations to feelings and reactions. This can help when anxiety, chronic pain or trauma leave the body feeling stuck.

She also draws on attachment-based work which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps with relationship worries, communication problems and issues around trust. Nicola combines these with client-centred listening that prioritises the person’s experience and pace of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicola will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts methods as therapy progresses, making adjustments if somatic practices or attachment work feel more or less helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting or health issues. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing a mix of real-time conversation and shorter written check-ins. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue work between sessions when needed.
