About Nicky
Counsellor and BACP member with 20 years of professional experience, Nicky Owen works in the United Kingdom supporting people with relationship difficulties, family concerns, grief and loss, and related issues. She also helps with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Nicky uses several therapy approaches and focuses on practical conversations that help clients make sense of their current struggles.
Nicky asks people to bring the problem they want to address. She listens to personal stories and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify feelings and options rather than rely on technical language. This makes it easier for people who are anxious or uncertain about starting therapy.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-focused methods are used to name and work with strong feelings, especially in relationship-related concerns. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and practical steps to try between sessions.
Nicky has worked with a wide range of issues across two decades. This includes anger, depression, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD and coping with life changes. She also has experience with bereavement, blended family matters, communication problems, and self-esteem challenges.
People can expect a straightforward style that focuses on what to do next. Nicky supports clients to notice small changes and build on them. She accepts clients from the UK and internationally, and conducts work in English.
How Nicky uses talking therapies online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape today's patterns. It helps people notice repeated ways of relating and try different responses in current relationships.Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on naming and working with strong feelings. It is useful when emotions get in the way of communication or closeness with others.
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps. It helps set clear goals and identify actions to try between sessions to build progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses different methods and agrees a way forward with each person. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs and goals become clearer.
The practical benefits of online working can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain regular contact and make short check-ins or longer therapeutic meetings fit around work or family commitments.
