Nels Rodwell, NCPS

Nels Rodwell uses person-centred and cognitive approaches to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma. She works in a gentle, non-judgemental way and invites clients to build on their own strengths. Nels holds NCPS as a listed credential and has 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Nels believes clients are the experts in their own lives. She offers practical tools to help people make sense of difficult feelings and to improve confidence and motivation. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps as well as exploring the personal story behind recurring patterns.

Her background includes training in Person Centred therapy, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she blends these approaches when useful. She also combines counselling with massage in face to face work and uses writing as a therapeutic tool. These methods support emotional processing as well as practical coping strategies.

Nels has substantial experience across adult age groups and with clients from different countries. She places attention on self-awareness, responsibility and agency while encouraging empathy and vulnerability as routes to change. This helps people reconnect with themselves and with others.

People come to her for issues such as low self-esteem, depression, communication and commitment problems, attachment difficulties, dissociation and recovery from abuse. She aims to help people understand their experiences and find ways to live more fully and with clearer relationships.

How Nels’ approaches translate to online work

Nels draws on person-centred practice and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to shape her work. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own expertise in their life, which helps when sorting out values and emotional priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers straightforward techniques to spot patterns, test thoughts and try small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which mix of methods suits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as work progresses so techniques and focuses can change if something isn’t helping.

Practical benefits of remote therapy include fitting sessions around work or travel and reducing time spent commuting. Remote work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or to choose whether to be on camera. The original biography notes face to face work combined with massage and writing therapy, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt exercises and written tasks to online settings to keep sessions active and goal-focused.
