About Nico
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years' experience, Nico Novell helps people work through addictions, relationship and family conflicts, LGBT-related concerns, stress, anxiety and other life changes. He speaks English, Spanish and Catalan. Nico adapts his way of working to the person in front of him rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Nico uses Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy as his main approaches. That means sessions focus on the person's experience now, while also looking at past patterns that shape current feelings and behaviours. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the client and to open up ways to make different choices.
People often come to him for issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related concerns, intimacy and sexual identity questions, parenting strain, and problems with anger or low self-esteem. He also works with people facing career pressures, bereavement, and major life transitions.
Additional focal areas include abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, control and communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin issues, and gender dysphoria. Nico will talk through the themes that matter most and help set priorities for sessions.
His approach is conversational and reflective. He listens for patterns, helps name them, and supports people to test small changes between meetings. Booking starts by using the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the work feels.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says, and supporting the client to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for concerns about self-esteem, relationship problems, sexual identity and coping with life changes.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It helps people see how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for issues such as trauma, abandonment, family of origin problems and persistent anger or anxiety.
Deciding which way of working fits best is part of the process. He will discuss the options and agree a direction with each person, mixing elements if that better suits the client's goals and preferences.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also reduce the need to be on camera when someone prefers an audio-only session, and it can help maintain continuity of contact for international clients.
