About Nikki
Counsellor Nikki Croce is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem problems, addictions and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Nikki often meets people who feel stuck in one area of life despite managing other parts. She listens for what feels hardest and helps people name the problems causing strain. The first meetings focus on what matters most and on small practical steps forward.
Her work draws on client-centred ways of working and trauma-focused methods. She also uses EMDR and somatic techniques when they fit the issue. Treatment aims and methods are discussed together so people know what to expect.
Nikki has experience supporting people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, including during pre-trial circumstances and afterwards. She has also worked with eating difficulties and other life events that change how people see themselves and their relationships.
Appointments are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. The counsellor asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. That helps plan an initial appointment that feels manageable.
Nikki welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations. She works in a way that keeps sessions boundaried and professional, with clear aims and practical steps to address the issues people bring.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship questions and general stress.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. It involves guided attention and talking about specific upsetting events, and can help people with trauma symptoms and post-traumatic stress.
Nikki treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She discusses what each method involves and what the client expects. Together they agree which practical steps and methods to try first and review progress as therapy continues.
If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. The counsellor arranges appointments via a subscription and asks people to complete a short questionnaire first. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as EMDR and somatic work to remote sessions when appropriate, and the approach will be adjusted to suit the client’s goals and circumstances.
