About Nicola

Nicola Biggs is a counsellor who helps people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with those coping with grief, low self-esteem, addiction, eating concerns and life changes. Nicola uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s pace and needs.

She has six years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. Before moving into independent practice she worked in a local grammar school and with Bucks Mind.

Background and approach

Those roles informed her understanding of common life stresses and how people respond when under pressure. In sessions Nicola listens first and follows the client’s lead. She draws on trauma-focused techniques when past hurt is relevant, and uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns that affect relationships.

Mindfulness approaches are offered to help with stress and grounding in difficult moments. Practical problem solving is also part of her work. Solution-focused methods are used to set small goals and build on what is already working for the client.

Nicola aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and works in English. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can choose what fits their routine.

Nicola encourages a collaborative approach to find the right pace and focus for each person.

Approaches for online trauma and relationship work

Nicola commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm and post-traumatic stress. That work aims to help people make sense of distressing memories and reduce their everyday impact. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which prioritises the client’s own goals and pace, allowing people to lead the conversation and set what feels manageable.

Mindfulness Therapy is another part of her toolkit and is used to build simple skills for grounding and managing overwhelm. These practices can help with anxiety, stress and moments when emotions feel intense. Nicola discusses options with each person and helps decide which approaches to try together in the early sessions.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. She will talk through hopes, needs and practical constraints, then agree a plan that can be adjusted as work progresses. Clients are invited to feedback on what helps and what does not, so the approach is tailored over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, flexible scheduling or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
