Nichola Salter
Supportive counsellor for anxiety and life changes
About Nichola
Nichola Salter helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. She also supports those dealing with depression, relationship and family tensions, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems. People contact her for career questions, coping with life changes, coaching and ADHD-related issues.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions centre on what matters most to the client. She encourages practical steps people can try between meetings and listens for the strengths someone already has.
Background and approach
Nichola has five years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration. Before counselling she worked in management and has background experience in teaching, broadcasting, sports, Coastguard rescue and the fire brigade. That varied experience feeds into a calm and practical style.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques, with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when these fit. Conversations tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented rather than lengthy lectures or jargon-filled theory. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist offers a listening, accepting presence and helps people clarify what they want to work on and why. This approach is useful for anyone needing space to make sense of difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches straightforward techniques for coping with anxiety, low mood, cravings and unhelpful behaviours.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce rumination and increase calm. It can be helpful alongside other techniques when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit your goals and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps find what actually helps you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different days and routines. Video lets you meet face to face, phone works with lower bandwidth, live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a regular schedule.
