About Nigel

Nigel Jordan works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and grief using client-centred, attachment and cognitive behavioural approaches. He is registered with NCPS and has 16 years of experience in clinical and private settings.

Nigel offers direct, conversational counselling. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage distress. He uses clear questioning and reflective listening to help people make sense of their feelings and behaviours.

He also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and autism and Asperger Syndrome. Other areas he works on include caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication problems.

Nigel draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current ones, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods when addressing relationship difficulties and strong emotions.

Across his practice Nigel aims to help people develop clearer ways of responding to stress, rebuild trust in close relationships and find practical steps to improve mood and daily functioning.

How Nigel uses different therapeutic approaches online

Nigel commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help with trust issues, attachment difficulties and relationship conflict.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviour. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nigel will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a way of working together. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Check the current session formats before you book because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, for example a phone session with lower bandwidth or a message-based check-in if offered by the service. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Nigel, use these options to help clients keep therapy practical and sustainable.
