About Nichola
Counsellor Nichola Williams is a BACP member with six years' professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship concerns, family problems and depression. Nichola meets people who want a clear, practical way to talk things through.
She prefers to keep sessions straightforward. She listens to each person's story and helps them spot strengths they already have. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how feelings show up, and what small changes could ease daily pressures.
Nichola offers help with attachment and abandonment worries. She also supports people affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant or dependent personality styles, and issues such as codependency and commitment anxiety. She will work with those dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability and the stresses that come with caregiving.
Practical matters such as relationship breakdown, divorce, blended family issues and family conflict are part of her caseload. She also addresses eating and food-related difficulties, dissociation and co-morbidity where these affect day-to-day life. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and manage.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The process uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Nichola accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online counselling
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical ways to understand and change patterns that cause distress. One common approach looks at thoughts and behaviours and how they keep anxiety or low mood going. Sessions help people notice unhelpful patterns and practise different responses to reduce symptoms over time.Another useful approach examines attachment and relationship patterns. This looks at how early relationships affect current trust, closeness and conflict. It can help people who struggle with abandonment fears, commitment issues or repeated relationship problems to notice triggers and try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work continues.
If you are considering online counselling, check which session formats Nichola currently offers before you book. The biographical information does not list formats, so confirm whether sessions are by video, phone or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life or caregiving duties, and they may allow shorter check-ins or meetings at times that suit everyday routines.
