About Nichola
Nichola Faiers works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She writes in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make sessions welcoming and non-judgemental. People come to her for help with coping through life changes and for practical support with motivation and time management.
Nichola is a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years' experience working with people who feel overwhelmed or stuck and focuses on building a trusted working relationship.
Background and approach
Her practice is grounded in a gentle person-centred approach that puts the individual's experience at the centre of each session. That means the client leads the conversation and Nichola listens for what matters most, helping to bring clarity and options into view.
She also uses a relational way of working, aiming to form an authentic connection so people can explore their current thoughts and feelings in the room. In practice this looks like reflective listening and helping people notice patterns in how they relate to themselves and others.
Alongside the main areas above, Nichola supports people dealing with attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia. Sessions are shaped together to match the client's goals and needs.

How Nichola works online
Nichola also uses a relational way of working, paying attention to the connection between counsellor and client. This helps when people want to notice patterns in how they relate to others or to themselves and to try out different ways of responding.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will listen to your goals, discuss options and adapt methods so they fit your needs and preferences. It is a collaborative process where finding the right fit is an early shared aim.
Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions around work or family commitments and making it easier to keep regular appointments.
