About Nichola

Nichola Salter works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching and ADHD. She uses a client-centred way of working and draws on cognitive behavioural, mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. Nichola is a BACP counsellor with five years' professional counselling experience in the UK.

Nichola frames sessions around what the person brings to the room. She listens for practical patterns and helps people try small changes between meetings. Sessions often include talking through feelings, looking at unhelpful thoughts, and practising simple mindfulness or problem-solving steps.

Her background before counselling includes management, work with broadcasting, teaching, sport, coastguard rescue and the fire brigade. That mix informs a practical style and an interest in people who face high pressure, safety-related stress or repeated life transitions.

Nichola works with issues linked to addiction, domestic violence, bereavement and trauma, and with people who identify difficulties around attachment, abandonment or communication. She also supports those facing ageing and caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions combine conversational listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help with anxiety and stress. People can expect collaborative planning, short practical tasks and review of progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people identify their own solutions, which suits issues around self-esteem, relationships and big life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and short tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and bring more focus to daily life. These techniques are often used alongside talking work to manage anxiety and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss which methods fit a person's needs and goals and will adapt methods as those goals change. This is a collaborative process that reviews progress and adjusts plans over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of practical tasks, brief exercises and focused talking time to make sessions effective and manageable for everyday life.
