About Nels

Nels Rodwell works on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression using a mix of counselling and supportive techniques. She describes clients as experts in their own story and aims to help them find practical ways forward. Nels is registered with NCPS and has 25 years of professional experience in the UK.

She trained in Person Centred therapy, Gestalt and cognitive behavioural therapy, and also practises writing therapy. Nels uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, try new ways of thinking and respond differently in relationships. She combines talking with practical tools to increase self-awareness and daily coping skills.

Nels has worked with adults of many nationalities across a range of difficulties. She lists areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control issues and body image alongside her main concerns. She also has experience with dissociation, domestic violence and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

In sessions she supports people to build self-agency, responsibility and kinder ways of relating to themselves and others. She offers coaching-style support for motivation and confidence alongside therapeutic work for deeper emotional issues. Her aim is to help people internalise new ways of thinking and relating so they can manage stress and improve relationships.

Nels also mentions working as a dual therapist combining counselling with massage in face-to-face settings, and she includes writing therapy as part of her practice. Those wanting to proceed can be matched and scheduled for a first session following the service's process.

How Nels uses attachment, client-centred and CBT approaches online

Nels works with attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ways of relating; this can help with trust, closeness and repeated relationship patterns. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect, helping people clarify their own thoughts and feelings and decide what to try next.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to change them, which often suits work on anxiety, low mood and confidence. Together these approaches aim to balance understanding past patterns with practical steps for everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nels will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That conversation shapes the plan for early sessions and is reviewed as work progresses.

Session formats are not fully specified in the biography, so confirm available options when booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments because it removes travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a quieter setup. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as writing tasks and CBT exercises to suit remote sessions.
