About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression, and offers coaching for motivation and confidence. Nels supports people who want practical tools and clearer understanding of their thoughts and feelings.
Nels trained originally in Person-Centred work, Gestalt and cognitive behavioural approaches. She combines conversational counselling with written work to help people put thoughts into words and spot patterns that keep them stuck. In face-to-face work she also blends counselling with massage, though that is not described here as an online option.
Her style gives space for people to describe their own experience and then look at what helps day to day. That can mean learning new ways to notice unhelpful thinking, practising different responses in relationships, or exploring how earlier attachment experiences affect current choices. Sessions include concrete ideas and practices to try between meetings.
Nels has worked with adults across ages and nationalities. She addresses a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, codependency, body image, communication and separation. She also has experience with dissociation and the effects of domestic violence and trauma.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on skills, clarity and personal responsibility. She explains concepts plainly and supports clients in applying them to everyday situations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Nels uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeating cycles in close relationships and consider different ways of connecting. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening, reflection and helping the person make sense of their own experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) features practical exercises and simple tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will work with the client to choose which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. The plan can change as practical work and reflection reveal what helps most.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, keep notes from written therapeutic exercises, and use spoken or writing-based tasks between appointments to support progress.
