About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines psychology and person-centred counselling in her practice. She holds a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and uses that background to listen and respond to each person's needs. Nicola aims to make the first step less daunting and offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters to you.
She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed by life changes. Nicola takes a client-led, flexible approach so sessions move at a pace that suits the individual. She works with practical concerns such as sleep, eating, career strain and parenting pressures as well as longer-standing issues including attachment and trauma.
Nichola draws on approaches such as attachment-based work and client-centred practice to support reflection and change. She may also use mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy methods where appropriate, tailoring what she offers to the person in front of her. This means sessions can include talking, guided exercises and attention to how relationships affect wellbeing.
Nicola has six years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That professional registration is part of how she keeps her practice accountable and connected to good standards.
Sessions are offered in English and Nicola accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how past bonds influence present reactions; it can help people understand why they feel hurt or avoid closeness. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, using empathic listening and reflection to build trust and support personal insight. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will talk with the person about their goals, history and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The plan can change as therapy progresses, with regular check-ins to make sure the work is helpful and relevant.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and saving travel time. Some people prefer a shorter telephone check-in when they need a quick update, while others like video sessions for face-to-face conversation or text-based exchanges for ongoing reflection; please confirm the exact session options when you book. Working online can make attending sessions more manageable within a busy life and supports continuity when schedules change.
