About Nicola
Nicola Gordon-Thaxter is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns and uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Nicola works in a straightforward way to help people think about what is happening now and what they want to change.
Nicola keeps sessions direct and conversational. She listens and reflects what clients say, then offers practical steps from CBT when helpful. That can include noticing thoughts that make problems worse and trying small, manageable changes.
Her work often covers grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting and anger. Nicola also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care matters, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and issues linked to antisocial personality traits.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and everyday coping skills. Nicola checks progress regularly and adjusts the approach as needed. The emphasis is on what the person wants to address and on usable strategies that fit their life.
She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client’s concerns, offers empathy and helps the person find their own solutions. It is useful for building understanding around relationship issues, self-esteem and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Sessions introduce simple exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach happens together. Nicola will discuss what the client wants to change, try approaches that suit those goals, and adjust them over time. The work is collaborative and guided by the client’s needs and preferences.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The original biography does not specify formats, so check whether video or phone sessions are available. People often find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes shorter check-ins possible, and removes travel time while still allowing regular contact with a registered professional.
