About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor who combines person-centred care with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She has 25 years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. Nels aims to meet people with empathy and practical support as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Her approach begins with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and works alongside them to clarify what matters.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building self-awareness, increasing emotional skills, and finding actionable ways to cope with hard situations. Nels trained in Person-Centred therapy, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she weaves elements of those approaches into her work. She also uses massage alongside counselling in face-to-face work and offers writing as a therapeutic tool where appropriate.
These options are part of her broader, flexible practice. Clients can expect straightforward, compassionate guidance aimed at practical change. Nels emphasises self-agency, responsibility and kindness in the room.
She helps people develop skills to process experiences, improve relationships and boost self-esteem. Her practice has involved adults of varied ages and nationalities across the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with issues such as depression, codependency, attachment concerns, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence and the effects of disaster or separation.
Nels encourages small steps and steady progress toward clearer, healthier ways of living.

How Nels works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That collaborative choice helps ensure the work matches what the person needs and wants to try.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or letting someone choose audio instead of video when that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue therapeutic momentum when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
