Nicholas Damin, BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Damin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He welcomes people who feel nervous or unsure about starting therapy and aims to make the first steps manageable. He emphasises being present and listening so clients feel heard and not judged.

Nicholas holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which point to his standing with professional bodies. He has three years of experience and works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports clients facing family-related strains, ADHD, LGBT concerns and life changes.

His way of working is warm and respectful. Sessions are paced to suit each person and often include creative tools to help people reflect and make sense of their feelings. He aims to help clients build confidence and find practical ways to cope day to day.

Nicholas combines client-centred listening with existential ideas about meaning and choice. That means he pays close attention to what matters to each person while also talking about values, purpose and the impact of life transitions. Conversations are straightforward and collaborative.

If someone would like to try counselling, Nicholas encourages small steps. He focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes and stays alongside people as they work through loss, change or ongoing stress. The emphasis is on practical understanding and finding ways forward that fit everyday life.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while helping people talk through their concerns and build their own answers. This approach can help with low self-esteem, anxiety and everyday stress.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people think about values, life direction and how to manage big changes or losses. This can be useful for those facing grief, major transitions or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try different ways of working to fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, avoid travel time and follow through with regular appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins or meetings that suit a break at work, and for sessions without being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
