About Nicky

Nicky Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Nicky aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, welcoming space to talk through difficult feelings.

She creates an environment where clients can share thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Nicky listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can make sense of their experience. Nicky uses client-centred ways of working that put the person's goals at the heart of sessions. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and stay present.

When helpful, she uses solution-focused strategies to identify small, practical steps forward. Her approach suits people who want straightforward, goal-aware support for everyday stresses and bigger life shifts. She commonly helps with relationship strain, coping after loss, workplace stress and issues around intimacy and self-worth.

Nicky also offers support for fertility-related worries, feelings of guilt and isolation, and compassion fatigue. Sessions combine listening, practical problem-solving and short mindfulness exercises. People leave with clearer priorities, simple tools to try between sessions, and a plan to move towards their goals.

How Nicky’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns and goals at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens actively and follows the client’s lead, helping them find their own answers and priorities. This suits people who want a respectful, non-directive space to make sense of things.

Mindfulness Therapy uses brief exercises and attention training to reduce overwhelm and improve focus on the present moment. These techniques can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and managing strong emotions by teaching simple breathing and grounding practices.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical next steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals. It is goal-orientated and useful when people want concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the things a person hopes to change, and then agree a collaborative plan. Therapy can adapt over time as priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility that suits many lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit support around work, family and daily life.
