About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a counsellor working from the United Kingdom. She trained in person-centred counselling and has a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Person-Centred Counselling and a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology. Nicola aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them.
Nicola uses a client-led, person-centred way of working. She adapts sessions to each person’s pace and needs and draws on psychological knowledge to make sense of patterns that cause distress. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer self-understanding rather than jargon.
She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief, and with relationship or intimacy-related issues. Other areas Nicola supports include ADHD, addictions, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes. Money and financial issues are included among the concerns she lists.
Nicola also works with a broader range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and attachment-related difficulties. Her approach is flexible; she will discuss which ideas or techniques might suit your situation as sessions progress.
With six years’ experience and BACP registration, Nicola offers a straightforward, compassionate way of working. She invites an initial short conversation to see if her way of working feels right, and to answer any questions before you book.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nicola draws on person-centred ideas and attachment-based thinking to shape online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy concerns, and old wounds that affect current connections.She also uses mindfulness-influenced practices to help people manage stress and anxiety in daily life. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily tension, which can reduce reactivity and make practical coping easier.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Nicola will work together with clients to decide which ideas to try, and she will adjust based on how helpful those approaches feel. This is a collaborative process that changes as goals and needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. When booking, confirm which session formats Nicola currently offers, as options were listed in her biography but may change. Therapists who offer online work can make it easier to sustain regular appointments and try different session rhythms to suit everyday schedules.
