Nikki Dunne, BACP

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those dealing with trauma and abuse. Nikki also helps with relationship and family issues, grief, parenting concerns and career or life changes.

She approaches sessions from a client-centred perspective, treating each person as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on using existing strengths to manage problems. Nikki prefers clear, practical dialogue rather than abstract theory.

In practice she listens for patterns that tie current struggles to past experiences, such as attachment or family of origin issues. She also offers time to talk through more acute concerns like panic attacks, dissociation or self-harm in a steady, paced way. Sessions can address relational topics including intimacy, fatherhood issues and sexual assault and abuse.

Nikki recognises the pressures that come with early adulthood and change. She supports people coping with isolation, guilt, shame and the task of finding life purpose. Work may include exploring difficult feelings, practising small coping steps, and planning manageable next moves.

Her background and approach aim to make therapy straightforward and relevant. People who want a collaborative, person-led process often find this style helpful when dealing with everyday pressures and deeper emotional wounds.
