Approach-Focused Online Support and Therapy

Nicola draws on client-centred therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy and the therapeutic relationship - the therapist offers non-judgemental listening to help clients explore feelings, build self-acceptance, and work through personal difficulties. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives, which can be useful for issues like trauma, identity, and relationship patterns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths, encouraging clients to identify small, achievable changes that move them toward their goals.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.



Online therapy with Nicola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with registered professionals and trained therapists.
