About Nicola

Nicola 'Nikki' Crosby helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. She writes plainly and offers calm, steady support to people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Nikki encourages small steps and practical change rather than quick fixes.

She keeps sessions focused and respectful so clients can talk about hard things without judgment. Nikki creates a space where thoughts and feelings are welcomed and explored.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns that maintain distress and works with each person to find clearer ways of coping. Conversations include practical strategies to manage panic, low mood, and relationship conflicts. Nikki aims to make sessions feel manageable and helpful from the start.

Her background includes four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS. That experience informs how she plans therapy and responds to a range of concerns.

Nikki pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues alongside symptoms like dissociation and emptiness. She also supports people dealing with family problems, blended family stress, and separation or divorce. Practical tools and clear communication skills are part of her work.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practical aim is to help people build better ways of coping and clearer relationships, one conversation at a time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach she uses involves grounding and coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage dissociation; these techniques teach straightforward ways to reduce overwhelm and return attention to the present. Another focus is work around attachment and abandonment patterns, which looks at how past relationships affect current ones and helps people try different ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust how they work, and set small, achievable steps to try between sessions.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or camera use is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing dialogue between calls. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
