About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with six years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties, among other concerns. Nicola offers sessions from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Nicola trained in person-centred counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. She draws on those foundations to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her rather than a fixed protocol. Conversations are client-led and paced to match how someone prefers to work.
Her approach blends elements from attachment-based work and mindfulness alongside narrative ideas and hypnotherapy when appropriate. That combination is used to look at how past relationships shape present habits, to reduce anxious thinking, and to notice unhelpful patterns. Nicola also uses Imago relationship ideas for people wanting to improve communication and connection in close relationships.
Practical issues are covered as well, such as sleep, coping with change, managing anger and dealing with addiction-related concerns. She also supports people with neurodiversity topics, attachment issues and body image struggles. Nicola will discuss what matters most to the client and plan sessions around those priorities.
To begin, Nicola asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and the subscription model allows cancellation at any time.
How Nicola uses approaches online
Nicola integrates attachment-based ideas and mindfulness into her online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others now. Mindfulness offers simple practices to bring attention to the present moment and reduce repetitive anxious thinking.She also uses client-centred principles online, which means sessions focus on the client's concerns and move at a pace the client sets. Nicola treats choosing the right approach as a shared task - she will talk through options and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.
The profile lists video, telephone and text-based sessions, but readers should confirm the current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let someone choose whether to be on camera or not. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these benefits to make talking about anxiety and relationships more manageable for everyday life.
