About Nicolette

Nicolette Bennett works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self‑esteem, depression, addictions and relationship and intimacy‑related issues, among other areas. She describes her practice as integrative and uses approaches that suit each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Nicolette uses a mix of client‑centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). She aims to work collaboratively and adapts the way she works to what clients need. Sessions may involve talking through current problems, thinking about patterns of behaviour, and trying small changes between sessions.

Her background includes work as a substance misuse mentor and in outreach with vulnerable young people. She has supported adults with mental health issues, complex needs, disabilities and mobility problems. That experience informs how she manages difficult topics and practical barriers to engagement.

Nicolette currently works with young people aged 11 to 18, adults and clients with complex needs or disabilities. Her experience covers general anxiety, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive behaviours, dissociation, depression, self‑harm and experiences of physical and sexual abuse.

She is trained in telephone and online counselling and draws on past roles to support people coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Sessions are aimed at helping people make manageable steps towards clearer thinking and steadier routines.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what the client says. It helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions to stress, relationship issues and self‑esteem problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, low mood and some patterns around eating or addiction by practising different ways of thinking and trying small behavioural experiments.

Working out which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what seems most helpful, and then agree a way of working together. That makes the plan a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.

She is trained in telephone and online counselling. If you want to know exact session formats and scheduling, confirm the options when you book. Online or telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or mobility challenges, or to have a shorter check‑in when time is limited.
