About Nichola
Nichola Faiers offers short-term and ongoing support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She presents a calm presence and invites clients to talk through what feels hard. Sessions use straightforward language and focus on practical coping as well as understanding emotions.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nichola brings three years of experience working with depression, motivation and time management concerns.
Background and approach
Her style aims to make people feel heard and understood from the first meeting. Her practice is rooted in a person-centred way of working. That means she follows the client’s lead, listens closely and reflects what she hears to help clarify feelings and choices.
She also uses a relational outlook, paying attention to how people experience the moment-to-moment of sessions and how relationships shape feelings. Nichola adapts the approach to each person’s needs. She helps people explore attachment issues, body image and communication problems, and support around guilt, shame or forgiveness.
Her work includes addressing isolation, social anxiety and finding life purpose. Sessions aim to balance talking and practical steps. People can expect a welcoming, non-judgemental space where the focus is on what matters to them and on building small, manageable changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting back what someone says. Online this means the therapist creates a space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor mirrors thoughts and feelings to help clarify them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and navigating life changes.A relational approach pays attention to how people experience connection in the here-and-now of the session. The therapist notices patterns in how someone relates, which can help with attachment concerns, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Online sessions allow those interaction patterns to be seen and discussed in real time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review what helps most and adjust techniques to fit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may combine listening, practical strategies and moment-to-moment reflection.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls feel similar to in-person meetings and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins, short reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, study or family commitments.
