About Nels

Nels Rodwell is a counsellor with 25 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse. Nels also supports clients dealing with self‑esteem, motivation and confidence.

She uses a compassionate, person-centred stance and encourages clients to use their own strengths to move forward. Nels trained in Person Centred therapy, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She draws on these methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes and reflect on what matters most.

Background and approach

In some face-to-face work she combines counselling with massage and offers writing therapy as an additional way to process feelings. Over her career she has helped adults from different nationalities and age groups. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

That might include simple exercises to manage anxiety or ways to improve communication in relationships. Nels pays attention to attachment and emotional patterns when working through relationship wounds or trauma. She emphasises self-awareness and personal responsibility while remaining kind and non‑judgemental.

The aim is to help clients develop clearer self-understanding and stronger connections with others. Her approach balances emotional exploration with tools for coping. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, tailored to the needs and pace of each person.

Nels aims to help people build lasting skills for wellbeing.

Ways of working Nels names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Nels uses Trauma‑Focused Therapy to help people process past harm in manageable steps and to reduce overwhelming reactions. That work often looks at safety, pacing and learning ways to cope with distressing memories or triggers.

She also draws on Attachment‑Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships. This approach helps people understand how early bonds influence current ways of relating and supports building more supported emotional connections.

The choice of approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. Finding the right fit is part of the work together rather than a one‑time decision.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face‑to‑face conversation and exercises, phone calls can fit short check‑ins or low bandwidth, and messaging or chat work well for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, different comfort levels with being on camera, and varied ways of keeping therapy going when travel is difficult.
