Therapeutic approaches and online support
Nicola draws on client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy and solution-focused therapy to tailor support to each person. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, empathic relationship and helps people explore their feelings and values in a nonjudgemental environment - it can be helpful for building self-worth, processing grief, and managing life transitions.Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and early experiences that shape current reactions and attachment styles. This approach can support deeper understanding of issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and recurring relationship problems. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps toward achievable goals, which is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and navigating immediate life challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques to match the person rather than using a single fixed model.
Online therapy with Nicola can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, allowing people to continue therapy around work, family or other commitments.
