About Nichola
Nichola Faiers is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Nichola also focuses on attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and social anxiety and phobia.
She takes a person-centred approach, starting sessions by listening to what matters to the client. Sessions are conversational and aim to explore thoughts and feelings in the present moment. Nichola believes clients already have strengths they can draw on and she helps them notice and use those resources.
Her practice emphasises a relational way of working. That means she pays attention to the connection between counsellor and client and how it affects what comes up in session. She invites honest, direct conversation about difficult feelings and everyday struggles.
Practical concerns such as motivation, time management and coping skills are part of the work alongside emotional topics like grief, forgiveness and shame. Nichola supports people who feel isolated or struggle in social situations to talk through what gets in the way of daily life.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the client's goals. Nichola and the client agree the pace and topics together. She encourages regular review so the approach can be adjusted as needs change.
Approaches used and what online sessions involve
She works from a person-centred style that focuses on listening and helping clients talk through what matters to them now. This approach is useful for people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety or are struggling with self-esteem, because it starts with the client's own perspective and pace.She also emphasises a relational approach, which pays attention to the connection that develops in sessions and how that reveals patterns in thinking and behaviour. This can help when people want to notice how they react in social situations or understand feelings such as shame and guilt.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Nichola will discuss different methods and decide together with the client what feels most helpful. That includes reviewing progress and changing focus if needed, so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to bring real-life examples from daily routines into the conversation.
