About Nicola
Nicola Murray is a counsellor with six years' experience who helps people manage overwhelming stress and anxiety. She uses clear, practical strategies to help clients cope with life changes and feel more like themselves. Nicola holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential.
Nicola draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment techniques, and client-centred ways of working. She begins by listening to what matters to the individual, then shapes simple steps to reduce distress and increase clarity. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and what fits into their everyday life.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and low mood. She also offers support for eating and sleep problems, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and workplace or career strain. Nicola notes additional interests around attachment, abandonment, autism and some personality difficulties.
For relationship difficulties she uses practical communication tools and emotional regulation strategies. The aim is to understand repeating patterns and to move towards repair and reconnection where that is the client’s goal. Nicola describes this as a step-by-step process tailored to each person’s needs.
Sessions are offered in English and Nicola accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Nicola’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by shifting focus toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and breaks problems into manageable tasks and experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns from past relationships and how they affect current trust and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy and repeated relationship patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Nicola will listen to what matters to the person and then suggest ways to proceed. She aims to make this a collaborative process so goals and methods feel practical and realistic for everyday life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, childcare and travel, or when a shorter check-in is needed. Talking remotely can make it easier to try exercises between appointments and to apply new skills in day-to-day situations; the therapist will discuss what will work best for the individual.
