About Nicola
Nicola Murray is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, addictions and a wide range of life changes. Nicola also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus. Her hourly work is grounded in practical tools and clear conversation.
She uses cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside a client-centred stance. Nicola aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She explains techniques simply and keeps sessions straightforward and action oriented.
Her interest in intimacy, trust and anger means she often supports people stuck in repeating patterns. Nicola also works with grief, trauma and the stresses that come with caregiving and health problems. When ADHD or autism features, she looks at routine, boundaries and practical strategies.
Nicola describes relationship work as focused on communication and step-by-step repair rather than quick fixes. While she discusses techniques used in couples work, the biography emphasises strategies such as emotional regulation and clearer conversation skills that an individual can practice.
If someone is unsure how to begin, Nicola asks what is most pressing and which small changes would help first. She combines short exercises, behavioural experiments and reflection so people can try things between sessions and see what helps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Nicola commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas when working online. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to change patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-based work looks at how early relating shapes current trust and closeness, useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, test out methods and decide which techniques suit a client's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session content and homework that fit daily life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family routines. They can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and let people choose whether to use video or an alternative format when those options are available.Areas of expertise
