About Nichola
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience helping people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression. Nichola Faiers works with people who are coping with life changes and struggling to manage motivation or time pressures. Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom.
Nichola uses a person-centred way of working. She starts by listening and helping the client name what feels difficult right now. Conversations focus on present thoughts and feelings, and on noticing what comes up during sessions. This style aims to support people to draw on their own resources and make sense of their situation.
She also uses a relational approach in the counselling room. That means attention to the way the counsellor and client connect. Nichola pays close attention to how people relate in the moment and helps them notice patterns that affect daily life and relationships.
Practical topics often covered include time management, motivation and building self-esteem. She works through grief and loss in step-by-step conversations and helps with anxiety and low mood by breaking things down into manageable pieces. The focus is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are collaborative. Nichola discusses goals and options with each person and adjusts the work as needed. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Person-centred counselling places the client's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing, helping people name what they feel and consider their own options. This approach is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, depression and adjusting to life changes.A relational approach pays attention to how the counsellor and client connect in the moment. It highlights patterns in how people relate to others and themselves, which can be useful for attachment issues, communication problems and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree what to try first. That discussion looks at the client's needs, goals and what feels most useful, and it is reviewed as the sessions continue.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to help people continue regular work alongside everyday life.
