About Nicola

Nicola Ellis is a counsellor who draws on six years of clinical experience to support people through stress, anxiety, trauma and other life challenges. She holds a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and brings those perspectives into each session. Nicola aims to make reaching out feel less daunting and to offer practical, steady support.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are client-led, which means Nicola will follow the pace that suits each person and adapt approaches to meet individual needs.

Background and approach

She uses person-centred work alongside methods that look at attachment patterns and trauma-related responses. Nicola helps people who are coping with low mood, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, ADHD and life transitions. She also supports those facing issues around intimacy, body image, parenting pressures, chronic illness and career stress.

The range of concerns includes both emotional and practical pressures. Online and remote sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Nicola uses these formats to make counselling more flexible for different schedules and situations.

International clients may be supported in English. Appointments follow a short initial conversation to see if the match feels right. Nicola encourages clear, manageable goals and practical steps alongside space to talk through feelings.

She aims to help people build coping skills and a clearer sense of direction.

Ways of working Nicola 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 Nicola’s approaches translate to online therapy

Nicola uses trauma-focused ideas to understand how past distress can affect daily life and relationships; this helps when people are dealing with trauma symptoms, intrusive memories or strong emotional reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape coping and connection, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, giving space to talk and to set the pace for change.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. The plan can change as the work progresses, and sessions are shaped around what helps most in practice.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can suit people who need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can provide shorter check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to match therapy to work patterns, caregiving responsibilities or different time zones, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
