Nico Novell
Supportive counsellor for relationship and identity concerns
About Nico
Nico Novell works with adults who are struggling with relationship pain, addiction, anxiety or deep life changes. He aims to create a space where people feel treated with respect and sensitivity. He introduces straightforward care so people can begin making small, manageable changes.
Nico adapts conversations and the plan to each person’s needs. He listens first, then helps people decide what to try next. Sessions are practical and grounded, focusing on what feels most important to the client in the moment.
Background and approach
Over two decades of practice have given him experience with a wide range of concerns. These include addictions, depression, grief, trauma and eating difficulties. He also supports people facing family problems, parenting strain, work stress and issues around intimacy and identity.
Nico draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s experience central. He also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring patterns that affect current relationships. Together these approaches help people understand what is happening now and make different choices going forward.
He works in English, Spanish and Catalan and offers sessions to people based in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their day. Taking the first step can feel hard.
Nico aims to support each person with steady, respectful guidance as they work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means listening closely, reflecting what the person says and helping them find their own answers. This approach is useful for people who need acceptance and clearer self-understanding to move forward.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated patterns in feelings and relationships. It helps identify unconscious links between past experiences and current behaviour so people can change long-standing reactions. This approach can be helpful for those who want to understand why certain problems keep returning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will adapt the method as therapy progresses, trying different ways to support change and checking in about what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a visual connection is not needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, steady support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
