About Nikki

Nikki Dunne works on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns using a person-centred way of working. She believes each person knows themselves best and draws on their strengths to address problems. Nikki is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Nikki uses Client-Centred Therapy, starting from the view that the client is the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping the client to identify their own goals. Practical conversation replaces jargon so people can make sense of what is happening for them and try different ways of coping.

She supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, family and fatherhood concerns, grief, parenting pressures and career stress. Nikki also works with people managing panic, dissociation, post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, sexual assault and abuse, and feelings of guilt or shame. Many clients bring worries about isolation, purpose and self-esteem.

In sessions she helps people talk through emotions, notice patterns and try out small changes between meetings. The focus is on the client's priorities rather than on fitting them to a fixed model. Progress is reviewed together so plans can be adjusted as needed.

Nikki works in English and accepts international clients. She uses her three years of experience to offer steady, practical support for people navigating life changes and emotional challenges.

Client-centred approaches and online counselling

Nikki works primarily using Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the person's experience and aims. This approach relies on careful listening, reflecting what the client says and helping them set their own goals; it can help with anxiety, relationship concerns and feelings of low self-esteem.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. That means exploring what helps and adjusting the approach to match the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan. Decisions about methods and focus are made together during early sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments and travel, and can reduce time spent on journeys. It also makes it possible to work with a registered or accredited professional from a different location, including international clients, while keeping appointments on a regular schedule.
