About Nichola
Nichola Salter is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and parenting worries, anger, low self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. Nichola also lists work with ADHD and a wide range of related focus areas.
Nichola’s approach is practical and person-focused. She works in a client-centred way and uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness strategies to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals in sessions.
Sessions tend to focus on identifying immediate, manageable steps. That can mean practising a new coping skill, looking at thoughts that get stuck, or planning how to handle a difficult conversation. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at things people can put into practice between sessions.
Before starting, Nichola asks about the main concern and what the person would like to change. Based on that, she and the person agree a simple plan for the first few sessions. Progress is checked regularly so plans can change if something isn’t working.
People often come with the pressure of early adult life - study, new jobs, money and relationships - and Nichola offers short-term work or longer support depending on needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted, and sessions are offered in English.
How Nichola uses CBT, mindfulness and client-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor follows the person’s priorities and helps them find their own solutions. It is useful for building confidence and sorting through difficult choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to see what helps. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce rumination and manage intensity. Short guided exercises in sessions can be practised between meetings to steady mood and focus. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will agree an approach to try and adjust it as needed based on progress and feedback. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into study, shifts or busy days, and it can reduce travel time. It also gives scope for shorter check-ins or more frequent brief sessions when that suits a person’s routine.Areas of expertise
