About Nikki
Nikki Dunne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of related concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, career worries and issues connected to men’s wellbeing. Her approach centres on listening and helping people find their own strengths to move forward.
With three years of professional experience, Nikki aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and be heard. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to guide each conversation, responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than complex jargon.
Clients can expect a simple, respectful style that treats them as the expert on their own life. Nikki encourages small, manageable changes and helps people build on what already works for them. She emphasises steadiness, patience and realistic goal-setting when worries feel overwhelming.
Her work covers additional areas such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, dissociation, fatherhood issues, panic attacks, self-harm and sexual assault recovery. She also supports people facing isolation, guilt, life-purpose questions and compassion fatigue.
Nikki accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are managed through a cancellable subscription.
How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling
Nikki practises Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on attentive listening and reflecting back what a person says. This approach helps people feel heard and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, grief and the aftermath of trauma. It focuses on the client’s own priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.In practice, sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. The therapist supports clients to notice their strengths, set small goals and try practical steps between meetings. That collaborative process helps shape whether the focus stays on emotional processing, coping strategies, or improving relationships and daily routines.
Formats for online work were not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, remove the need to travel to appointments and help people connect with a counsellor who understands men’s wellbeing even if they live elsewhere.
