About Nicola
Nicola Dove is a UK counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and relationship and intimacy issues using a mix of approaches she adapts to each person.
Nicola sees people who feel overwhelmed by depression, panic, social anxiety, loss or ongoing patterns that hold them back. She describes counselling as a practical place to talk through what is happening now and to change unhelpful behaviours. Sessions aim to help people sleep better, manage guilt and shame, and rebuild confidence in relationships and daily life.
Her way of working draws on client-centred practice combined with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She listens for the problems that are keeping someone stuck, then helps them try different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas form part of the toolbox when exploring motivation and long-standing patterns.
Nicola trained with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and is MBACP listed, which means she works within the BACP framework. Her background includes personal experience of counselling that shaped her decision to become a counsellor and five years of professional practice supporting adults through change.
Sessions cover practical matters as well as feelings. Conversation can include grief, addiction, body image, parenting strains, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns and eating or sleeping difficulties. The emphasis is on helping each person find clearer steps forward.
To begin, people are invited to use the site matching process and book an initial session. Nicola works in English and does not take international clients.

How her approaches translate to remote work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It centres the conversation on the client's concerns and priorities and is useful for building trust and clarity when facing loss, low self-esteem or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools and exercises to reduce panic, anxiety and unhelpful routines, and to improve sleep and mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and help with anxiety, shame and concentration problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicola will collaborate with each person to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she may combine techniques as needed. The plan can be reviewed and changed as therapy progresses.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work and family life, and some formats can make shorter check-ins or camera-free conversations possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
