Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support
Nicola commonly integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the person's perspective guides the work - this approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore their concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disturbance. For those affected by past harm, Nicola draws on trauma-focused techniques that prioritize safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of traumatic memories and their everyday effects.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nicola treats this as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to assess needs, trial approaches, and adapt plans so treatment fits personal goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to suit the individual rather than relying on a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it simpler to fit sessions into busy lives or to access help from different locations. These formats can increase accessibility and convenience while preserving the collaborative, evidence-informed work that supports change.
