About Nancy

Nancy Brookes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She supports those facing depression and the upheaval that comes with major life changes. Nancy aims to make the first step less daunting by offering a calm, respectful space to talk and work through difficult feelings.

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

In sessions she encourages honest conversation and practical steps that fit each person’s life. Conversations are direct but warm, and she pays attention to what feels workable for the individual. Nancy also works with issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, feelings of guilt and shame, and concerns around sexuality and self-love.

She has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence and those coping with cancer or the consequences of loss. Her approach is collaborative. She listens, helps clarify priorities, and supports people to try small changes that lead to relief.

Sessions can include talking through reactions, learning ways to manage overwhelming moments, and building routines that reduce stress. People who choose Nancy can expect straightforward language and practical ideas alongside emotional support. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices that suit their day-to-day life.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Nancy lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that can be used online

Two evidence-based approaches are commonly used in talking therapy and can be adapted to online work. One approach focuses on helping people understand and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by noticing automatic thoughts and testing them with manageable experiments. This is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood because it targets the moments that keep distress high.

Another approach concentrates on processing difficult or painful experiences by working carefully through memories and reactions, building skills to manage intense feelings, and reducing avoidance. This can help people affected by trauma, abuse or grief to feel less overwhelmed by reminders and to regain a sense of control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, then agree on steps to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins, chat works for short focused conversations and text messaging helps with ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
