About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and young adult issues. She also works with relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, grief, sleep problems and coping with life changes.
Her background includes roles as a substance misuse mentor and an outreach youth worker. She has supported people with mental health issues, complex needs, disabilities and mobility challenges. That variety shaped how she approaches conversations about difficult experiences and practical problems.
Nicolette uses an integrative style, which means she draws on different ways of working depending on the person and the problem. She commonly uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. She helps people talk through patterns, test small changes and build clearer coping steps. For anxiety and panic she works on grounding and manageable exposure; for addiction and substance use she draws on her mentoring experience to focus on realistic supports.
Nicolette is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers telephone and online counselling and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people identify what matters most. This approach suits people who need space to talk things through and arrive at their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions involve noticing unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioural experiments and developing practical strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood where patterns of thinking keep problems going.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Nicolette will work with the client to decide which way of working fits their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed together.
Her profile notes telephone and online counselling as ways she works. If session formats are important, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work timetables, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Telephone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter verbal check-in is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and worksheets to digital sessions to support practical skill-building.
