About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship matters, and also supports those facing challenges like ADHD, addictions and eating or sleeping difficulties.
Nicola trained in person-centred counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. She uses a client-centred style that focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are paced to the individual rather than pushing a set agenda.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, narrative approaches and mindfulness techniques to look at patterns in relationships, personal stories and how thoughts affect feelings. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit, used alongside talking therapy when appropriate. Nicola uses Imago relationship ideas when relationship issues are a primary concern.
People often come for help with life changes such as moving cities, starting work or dealing with bereavement. She also supports those managing compassion fatigue and long-term health issues by looking at coping strategies and day-to-day routines.
Sessions can be arranged internationally and are offered in English. Nicola asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the site’s online options. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Nicola’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people spot recurring ways of relating and practise different responses in conversation. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pacing, with the therapist following the client’s lead rather than imposing tasks. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and offers simple practices for anxiety, sleep and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nicola will work with the client to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative decision that can change over time as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a work or study break, reduce travel time, or choose a quieter setting on the day. If telephone or video is offered, telephone can be useful for shorter check-ins while video lets people read facial cues during conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt length and frequency to suit everyday life commitments.
