About Nichola

Nichola Faiers helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports those facing life changes. She works collaboratively and uses a gentle person-centred way of working. Nichola is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Nichola creates time in sessions for clients to talk through what they are feeling and thinking. She aims to build a straightforward, relational connection so people can explore thoughts and emotions that are present in the room. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on practical ways to cope with day-to-day demands like time management and motivation.

Her practice pays attention to attachment and to how relationships shape feelings such as guilt, shame or isolation. She also works with body image, communication problems and issues around control and forgiveness. Social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose, are additional areas she addresses.

The person-centred stance treats the client as having inner resources to draw on, and Nichola uses that assumption to guide conversations and interventions. She adapts her approach to the concerns raised and encourages collaborative work so clients help decide the focus of therapy.

Nichola sees counselling as a place to name difficult emotions and to try out different ways of responding to them. Practical steps such as organising time, improving self-care and building clearer communication are often part of the work. Her background with the BACP informs her practice and professional standards.

Approach and what to expect from online sessions

She describes her work as person-centred and relational. Person-centred counselling involves listening without directing the client and helping them find their own solutions; it can be useful for low mood, self-esteem and managing life changes. A relational approach focuses on how the therapeutic connection itself can highlight patterns in relationships and emotions, which can help with attachment issues, guilt and shame.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will work with the client to identify which methods suit their situation best. This is a collaborative process and the approach can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family routines and reducing travel time. If you are unsure which session formats are offered, please confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online sessions to make it easier to attend therapy and to maintain continuity of care when schedules are busy.
