About Nancy
Nancy Cowling helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. She works in a way that recognises each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths. Nancy is a member of the BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has seven years of professional experience.
In sessions she listens and helps people talk through what is most worrying them. She uses practical approaches to look at patterns of thought and behaviour and to identify small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations aim to be clear and direct, with steps people can try between meetings.
Nancy has supported people facing grief, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and coping with illness or bereavement. Her background includes helping people manage career changes and compassion fatigue.
Her practice places emphasis on collaboration. She will work with each person to set priorities and check progress regularly. Sessions focus on what is most useful here and now while also looking at longer-term patterns when relevant.
People can expect straightforward feedback and practical suggestions alongside conversation. Nancy aims to help people build more reliable coping strategies and to increase confidence in handling life’s stresses.
How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include ways of working that focus on thoughts and behaviours, helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical alternatives. This approach suits problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Another common way of working looks at attachment and relationship patterns. This helps when people are dealing with intimacy-related concerns, abandonment or codependency by exploring how past experiences shape current relationships and responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods to use based on goals and what feels most helpful. This is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Practical benefits of sessions delivered remotely should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not state formats. Generally, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Check the available session formats and scheduling details before arranging the first meeting.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
