Nicola recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and validates that step as important. She aims to work collaboratively with clients to identify the right focus and pace for therapy, attending to the specific concerns that are holding them back while supporting their capacity for change.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens without judgement and helps the client explore personal thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, grief, and difficulties with relationships by encouraging self-awareness and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression, offering practical strategies and exercises to build coping skills and manage symptoms more effectively.
Nichola works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach, or combination of approaches, fits their needs and goals. She considers the client’s preferences and life circumstances and adjusts the therapeutic plan over time, making the choice of method part of an ongoing conversation between therapist and client.
