Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Nicky draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding and processing trauma and building practical coping skills. One key element of her work is trauma-informed therapy, which helps people explore the impact of past abuse or neglect on current emotions and relationships and supports recovery from trauma-related symptoms. Another core component is skills-based intervention, where clients learn concrete strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties so they can function more effectively day to day. These approaches are applied in a way that fits each person’s situation and goals.

Nicky approaches therapy as a collaborative process - she and the client will work together to identify which techniques are likely to be most helpful, and she will adjust the approach based on the client’s needs, preferences, and progress. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and to choose the session format that best fits a client’s schedule and comfort level. For many people, the convenience and variety of online modalities help maintain consistency and momentum in therapy.
