About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor who uses person-centred and cognitive approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles and trauma. She brings 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and encourages clients to use their own strengths to make meaningful change.
Her practice emphasises listening first. She helps people tell their story in a safe, non-judgemental way and looks for practical steps they can take next. Nels combines talking therapies with creative tools, including writing therapy and, for in-person work, massage alongside counselling.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Sessions focus on simple, usable strategies rather than technical jargon.
Nels works with adults across a broad range of concerns. These include self-esteem and confidence, communication and commitment issues, grief from separation or divorce, and learning to cope after abuse or other trauma. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, dissociation and the effects of disaster.
Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. Clients are invited to try techniques, reflect on what helps, and keep the change that fits their life. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches can work well online
Nels uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how they influence current feelings and behaviour; this helps when communication or trust is difficult. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and build straightforward coping techniques for anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another strand she draws on to name feelings and repair emotional connection in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nels treats therapy as a collaboration - she will listen to your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. Together you can review what helps and adjust the approach over time so it fits your needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also give flexibility to schedule around work or family commitments and to continue therapy when distance would otherwise make it hard.
