About Jay
Jay Nicol is a counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Jay also supports people dealing with parenting strains, compassion fatigue, guilt and shame, panic attacks and social anxiety.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Jay focuses on building trust and listening carefully to each person’s story.
Background and approach
She believes most people have the strength to cope and grow, and she works alongside clients to find practical ways forward. Her sessions aim to identify helpful patterns and small changes that make daily life easier. Jay tailors her approach to each person rather than using a fixed formula.
She pays attention to culture, identity and background when shaping the work. Jay describes therapy as a collaborative process. She invites clients to set goals and reviews progress together.
Her style is steady and compassionate, and she supports people through setbacks as well as wins. For anyone nervous about starting therapy, Jay emphasises that the first step is simply to explore what might help. She will guide the initial steps, discuss options and adapt the work as needs change.
Sessions are conducted in English and Jay is available to work with people in the United Kingdom and international clients. The focus is on practical support, clearer thinking and rebuilding confidence over time.

How Jay works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jay discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts the methods used as the therapy progresses. The collaboration helps ensure the approach fits the client’s needs and feels practical for everyday life.
Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins and make scheduling around work or caring duties simpler. The biography does not specify which session formats Jay offers, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can provide effective support online, and Jay will discuss which way of meeting works best for each person.
