About Nicola

Nicola Lomas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people dealing with issues around sexuality and LGBT concerns. She places emphasis on creating a calm, non-judgemental space so clients can speak at their own pace.

Nicola uses an integrative style that draws on a range of therapeutic theories. That means sessions are shaped to fit each person rather than following a single rigid method.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on understanding feelings, making sense of painful events, and building practical ways to cope day to day. A core area of Nicola's work is supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape. She brings sensitivity and empathy to these sessions and works at the client’s pace.

The aim is to explore the impact of those experiences, rebuild self-trust, and support recovery over time. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, guilt and shame, loneliness and communication problems. Practical steps are used alongside talk work to help reduce distress and improve relationships with self and others.

Nicola has five years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Sessions can be arranged online by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Nicola lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Nicola works in an integrative way, combining evidence-based techniques to match what each person needs. For example, she may use trauma-informed talk work that helps people make sense of overwhelming events and process difficult memories in a paced way. That approach focuses on safety, grounding and slowly building tolerance for distress.

She may also draw on skills-based strategies to manage anxiety and depression. These practical tools include breathing or grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans to break down overwhelming problems into manageable actions. These techniques can help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Nicola will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person's goals, needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made, checking in regularly to ensure the approach feels helpful.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins or flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
