About Nicole
Nicole Barry is a counsellor with five years' practical experience. She holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and focuses on helping people feel heard and understood. Nicole aims to work alongside clients so they can leave therapy in a stronger place mentally.
Nicole uses a flexible, person-focused way of working. She adapts pace and approach to each person’s needs and creates tailored sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She describes herself as warm, non-judgemental and committed to supporting ongoing progress after therapy ends.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, career strain and ADHD-related challenges.
Nicole integrates several therapy approaches to match the client’s goals. She draws on methods that look at thought patterns, emotional bonds, and values-based action to help people make practical changes. Sessions may include reflection, skill-building and practical steps to manage day-to-day problems.
She provides a mix of contact between sessions, including regular messaging check-ins, and offers sessions by online messaging, phone or video calling depending on preference. Prospective clients are encouraged to discuss which mode of contact suits them when arranging an appointment.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what truly matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It helps when worries or avoidance are getting in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current patterns; it can be helpful for intimacy, trust and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nicole aims to talk through options with each person and decide together which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and meaningful.
Nicole offers ways of working online that fit into everyday life; she provides therapy by video calling, phone and online messaging depending on client preference. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. Confirm specific session formats when booking so arrangements match your needs.
