Nicola Ellis, BACP

Nicola Ellis is a counsellor working from the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She trained in person-centred counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling plus a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. Nicola aims to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where people can bring their concerns and talk through what matters to them.

Her approach is gentle and client-led. Nicola listens first and adapts her way of working to each person’s pace. She focuses on understanding feelings and relationships, and on helping people find clearer ways forward for everyday life.

Nicola supports people with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and eating or sleeping concerns. She also works with people coping with trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, career concerns and major life changes. The practice includes attention to attachment issues and relationship patterns.

Her methods draw on attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles, mindfulness practices, hypnotherapy and Imago relationship work. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth, using listening, reflection and simple tools to build coping and insight.

Nico la offers a brief introductory conversation to discuss needs and fit before beginning. Clients who decide to proceed follow a short matching process and then arrange sessions at times that suit them. Fees vary by location and are paid via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Nicola's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this can mean looking at how trust and closeness are experienced now, and using that understanding to try different ways of connecting and responding to others. Client-centred therapy is based on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify their priorities and make changes at a pace that suits them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicola will talk through options with each person and decide together which methods fit the goals, preferences and needs presented. That collaborative process may mean blending ideas from different approaches as the work progresses.

The original profile lists online (video), telephone and text-based sessions, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting counselling into busy lives, for shorter check-ins around work, or for choosing whether to be on camera. Nicola aims to make sessions practical and convenient while focusing on what the person wants to address.
