About Nichola

Nichola Salter is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, relationship strain, career change, eating concerns and ADHD. Nichola aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and practical.

Her style is straightforward and person-centred. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic and steady. Nichola draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies. She uses these methods to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, practise calmer responses and agree workable goals.

The work often mixes short-term problem solving with longer-term coping skills. She holds BACP membership, and brings five years of professional counselling experience to her practice. Before counselling she worked in management, broadcasting, teaching and emergency services, which she says informs her practical approach.

People who come for help can expect a collaborative tone. Nichola listens, offers clear options, and checks in about what is most useful. She encourages steps that fit a person’s life so changes are easier to keep going.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps people notice their own strengths so they can work out what feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practise new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals, needs and what they prefer. Together they decide which mix of methods to try and review how well those methods are helping as sessions continue. Online sessions make it easier to fit support into a busy life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work more like in-person sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a straightforward way to check in. Live chat or text messaging can suit short updates, brief coaching-style conversations, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
