About Nicole

Nicole Uprichard is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship and parenting concerns. Sessions also address addictions, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Nicole offers both short and longer-term work. She combines counselling with goal-focused coaching when that suits someone’s needs. In practice this means some sessions focus on immediate coping and symptom relief, while others set small steps towards personal or professional aims.

Her approach is trauma-informed and grounded in talking therapy alongside body-focused work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, solution-focused techniques and somatic methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Client-Centred Therapy also shapes how she listens and reflects.

People can expect practical discussion of current problems alongside moment-to-moment attention to feelings in the room. Some sessions are used to develop short plans and small experiments to try between meetings. Other sessions are used to talk through painful experiences and their ongoing effects.

Nicole accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Nicole uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on what matters most and on taking small steps consistent with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist offers attentive listening and reflection to help someone make sense of their experience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Nicole will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit the person and the issue. She adjusts the balance between talking, practical tasks and body-focused work as the relationship develops.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions useful for maintaining continuity of care and for doing elements of therapy that transfer well to everyday life.
