About Nicole
Nicole Huang is an ACA counsellor who helps people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and big life changes. She also supports people living with ADHD and those struggling with attachment, codependency, caregiver strain or feeling isolated. Nicole writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Nicole holds a Master of Counselling and has three years of practice experience. She has worked in private practice, schools and organisational settings, and has taken referrals from NDIS, Child Protection and Victims of Crime. That range has given her practical insight into different pressures people face across life stages.
Her work is trauma-informed and she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioural approaches, narrative therapy and acceptance and commitment strategies. She draws on a humanistic outlook to create an open, respectful space where people can talk through painful experiences and identify steps they want to take.
Nicole aims to provide a neuro-affirming, gender-affirming and culturally aware environment. She pays attention to how identity, culture and life history shape the problems people bring to therapy. That focus guides how she plans sessions and supports people toward clearer choices.
Sessions usually involve practical conversation, skills practice and reflecting on patterns that keep problems repeating. Nicole encourages paced goal-setting so progress can fit into everyday life and feel manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Nicole uses a blend of approaches that suit practical problems and deeper emotional patterns. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours; they are useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they repeat, which can be helpful for shame, identity and life-purpose work. Acceptance and commitment strategies encourage noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, useful for people facing major change or grappling with ADHD challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole discusses options with each person and adjusts techniques to match their goals, preferences and rhythm. The therapist and client decide collaboratively what methods will be tried and when to shift direction.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as specific session types are not listed here. Online therapy can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter focused sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum and apply new skills between sessions.
