Nichola Faiers, BACP

Nichola Faiers welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward, so clients can talk about what matters to them without pressure. Nichola introduces a gentle, respectful space where people can express themselves and begin to make small changes.

Nichola is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She has three years' experience working with issues such as self-esteem, motivation, time management and coping with life changes. She also supports people concerned about body image, social anxiety, attachment worries and feelings of shame or guilt.

Her approach is collaborative and shaped around each person's needs. Nichola uses a person-centred foundation, which means she treats the client as the expert on their own life and focuses on what matters now. She also emphasises the relationship in the room, aiming to build an open and genuine connection.

In sessions she pays attention to thoughts and feelings that arise in the present moment. Conversations are practical and paced to the client, with space to notice small shifts over time. Nichola will work with each person to find ways forward that feel manageable and realistic.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online work

Her biography highlights the use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a person-centred, relational way. Person-centred work focuses on listening with acceptance and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and motivation. Relational approaches place attention on the connection between counsellor and client, using the therapeutic relationship to notice and work through feelings such as shame, guilt or attachment worries.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques fit best with their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape each session and adapts as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting counselling into a busy routine and reducing travel time.
