About Nikki
Nikki Dunne helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with concerns such as relationship strain, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, grief, anger and career changes. Nikki also supports people dealing with attachment struggles, caregiver stress, isolation and issues around intimacy.
Nikki uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She believes people know themselves best and that therapy can be a space to explore strengths and options.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person’s comfort. Her background includes three years of professional practice working in the United Kingdom. Nikki is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed as her credential.
She draws on that experience to offer calm, attentive listening and practical ways to move forward. In sessions Nikki aims to build a trusting conversation where people can talk about painful experiences and everyday stresses. She helps people notice patterns, try different ways of coping, and make changes that feel right for them.
Progress is worked through step by step rather than rushed. People who choose Nikki can expect a respectful and down-to-earth style. She explains ideas plainly and checks in about what is working.
If someone wants to begin, she asks them about their priorities and what they hope to change so the work can stay focused and useful.

Approaches Nikki lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Nikki works online
That approach is practical and simple to explain in therapy: the counsellor asks questions, mirrors feelings, and helps explore options so people can make choices that fit their lives. For issues such as attachment difficulties, grief or caregiver stress, this style aims to create a steady space for honest conversation and small, manageable steps forward.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, and together they decide how best to proceed. This is a collaborative effort that adapts if needs change during the work.
Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people keep continuity of care even when they move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to practical needs and goals.
