About Nikki

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She works with clients on relationship worries, self-esteem, grief and the strain of parenting. Nikki encourages people to notice their own strengths and use them to make practical changes.

Nikki believes people are the experts on their own lives. She offers a calm, listening approach and follows the client's pace.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that can be tried between sessions. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which means the sessions are guided by the person who comes to therapy. Nikki creates space for people to speak freely, name painful experiences and decide what they want to change.

She avoids pushing a fixed plan and instead follows the concerns the person brings. With three years of professional experience and BACP registration, Nikki has spent time supporting people through life changes and intense feelings. She also offers practical help with coping strategies for panic attacks, dissociation and overwhelming guilt and shame.

Sessions can cover career strain, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related worries and questions about life purpose. Nikki aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on realistic steps that fit each person’s life.

Ways of working Nikki names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support online

Nikki primarily uses client-centred therapy, which means the session follows whatever the person brings. The counsellor listens without directing the process and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, relationship worries, self-esteem and many trauma-related concerns.

Sessions also aim to help with practical coping skills for panic attacks, dissociation and overwhelming emotions. These conversations focus on small, workable strategies you can try day to day and review together in later meetings.

Finding the right way of working is a joint process. Nikki will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust the approach over time. Together they decide whether to concentrate on feelings, practical skills or a mixture of both.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
