About Nelly

Nelly Kamwa is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and depression, among other concerns. Her practice also covers addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues.

Nelly uses straightforward conversations to help people make sense of what they are facing. Sessions are client-centred and practical. She listens to where someone is now and works with them to identify small steps forward. This can include looking at patterns of thought, emotional reactions and behaviours that get in the way of daily life.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. That means she often focuses on values, practical coping skills and relationships. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation or distress tolerance are needed.

Nelly has supported people with a wide range of life changes and pressures. These include parenting strain, body image concerns, chronic illness and the effects of domestic violence. She also works with people experiencing anger, sleep or eating difficulties and those managing ADHD-related challenges.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Typical approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing other ways of responding. It is practical and suits problems like anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect how someone connects and responds to others. This approach can help with intimacy concerns, abandonment issues and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit best with the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from different approaches as needed.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around study or work, avoiding travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online appointments help them maintain consistency and manage therapy alongside everyday commitments.
