Relationship and self-esteem counsellor
About Nancy
Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi helps people who are struggling with relationship worries, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and coping with big life changes. She also supports those facing career challenges, anger, feelings of isolation, and difficulties in the family. Nancy offers a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps less daunting.
She works in a way that is practical and compassionate. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation, with an emphasis on small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building confidence, improving communication, and identifying what gets in the way of progress. Nancy pays attention to attachment and commitment issues when these affect relationships and decision-making. Her background includes seven years of experience in therapeutic practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That experience informs a calm, patient style that balances listening with clear suggestions when helpful. Nancy often uses coaching-style support alongside therapeutic work to help people set goals and make steady changes in daily life. She concentrates on skills people can practise between sessions, such as grounding techniques for anxiety and steps to rebuild self-worth.
People who value a direct but warm counsellor may find her approach helpful. She invites clients to work at a pace that feels manageable, and to experiment with different ways of tackling problems until something fits.

Approaches that guide online work
Evidence-based techniques often focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach emphasises building coping strategies and simple routines to reduce anxiety and stress; it helps people learn what to do in moments of overwhelm and how to break problems into manageable parts. Another helpful method centres on improving communication and attachment patterns, looking at how past experiences shape current relationships and teaching ways to notice and change unhelpful interaction habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day and to keep a running thread of progress. These options help people access consistent support without long travel or schedule disruptions.
