About Nels
Counsellor Nels Rodwell is registered with NCPS and has 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression. She also offers coaching-style support for motivation and confidence. She sees adults from different nationalities and speaks English.
Nels works from a person-centred stance and combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment thinking. That means sessions focus on what the client brings, while also trying practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She uses writing therapy and, in face-to-face work, combines counselling with massage when appropriate.
Her approach aims to help people notice patterns in relationships and to name emotions more clearly. Practical tools and exercises are often used alongside talking. Nels emphasises self-awareness, personal responsibility and small steps that build confidence over time.
She has worked across a wide range of adult presentations including separation, domestic violence, dissociation and body image concerns. Other areas she supports include abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. Her practice includes coping responses to disaster and recovery from abusive experiences.
Nels writes about experience as part of therapy and offers massage alongside counselling in face-to-face sessions. People who prefer discussion-based work will find a person-centred focus with cognitive and attachment-informed tools. Before booking, readers should check which session formats are currently offered.
How attachment and CBT ideas are used in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current feelings. It helps people recognise attachment styles and change how they respond in close relationships.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens with minimal direction and helps the client name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviour and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what seems most useful and try different ways of working together. That choice is made collaboratively, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online counselling, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The profile notes face-to-face work and writing therapy, and mentions combined massage in in-person sessions; it does not list specific online formats. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or family life, shorter check-ins by phone if needed, and avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of discussion and practical exercises that can be adapted to remote work.
