About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a BACP-registered counsellor practising from the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues. Her profile also lists blended family issues among other focus areas, so she can support people navigating stepfamily and blended household challenges.
Nicola trained with a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and she blends those perspectives in her work. Sessions are client-led and aim to move at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations are straightforward and practical, concentrating on what is bothering the person now and what might help day to day.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice, with additional methods such as hypnotherapy, Imago relationship therapy and mindfulness. That lets her offer different ways of working, for example talking through patterns in relationships, noticing how stress shows up in the body, and practising simple awareness exercises.
Nicola lists a broad range of concerns she can address, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and coping with life changes. She also notes areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and body image among her focus areas.
Sessions are available to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns, discuss loyalty conflicts in blended households, and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life.Client-centred practice means the session follows the person's pace and concerns. In an online conversation this often translates to reflective listening, checking what matters most, and setting small, realistic steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness practice offers simple exercises for noticing thoughts and bodily tension. These can be taught and practised during remote sessions and used to reduce reactivity during stressful moments at home.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as things change. That means starting with what the person wants to address and testing gentle options rather than committing to one method up front.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the original profile did not list current options in detail. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling around daily life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing to travel, or avoiding camera use when that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals offer the sessions, and practical arrangements are agreed at the first contact.
