About Nikki
Nikki Croce is a counsellor who supports people feeling stuck by focusing on the parts of life causing the most strain. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and problems linked to trauma and abuse. Nikki also helps with eating and body-image concerns, addictions, and low self-esteem.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning, then set clear goals to work towards.
Background and approach
Nikki uses somatic therapy to help people notice how their body holds stress, and combines this with client-centred methods that keep the person’s own priorities central. She has experience supporting people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, including during difficult pre-trial circumstances and afterwards.
Nikki also has experience working with post-traumatic stress and postpartum depression, and has supported clients with eating disorders and process addictions. Nikki is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and works with people from diverse backgrounds and identities.
Sessions are offered in English. In the room she aims to be patient and steady. Nikki believes clients are the experts on their own stories and uses that knowledge to build a plan together.
The work focuses on small, manageable steps that can change how daily life feels.
How somatic and trauma-informed approaches work online
Somatic therapy helps people notice where tension and stress show up in the body and learn ways to unwind those physical patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related symptoms and persistent stress that feels stuck in the body. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities, offering a supportive space where the client’s experience guides the pace and content of sessions.Nikki aims to work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will talk through options and adapt techniques to fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Deciding on an approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time choice.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. These formats make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, childcare or travel. They also allow the same somatic and trauma-informed techniques to be used in ways that feel manageable at home, with follow-up tasks and practical steps discussed between sessions.
