About Nicola
Nicola Juffs helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes and workplace pressures. Nicola’s approach is straightforward and person-focused.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Nicola works in a warm, non-judgemental manner. Sessions are about listening, understanding and finding practical ways forward together.
She creates space for people to talk through their thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits them.
Background and approach
Her background includes years of support work in the homeless sector, mental health settings and women’s services. Nicola trained as a Humanistic Counsellor in 2017 and has since worked in independent practice and with employee assistance programmes. That practical experience informs how she balances empathy with clear problem-solving.
Nicola uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps and measure progress. The work tends to be collaborative and goal-aware rather than overly technical.
People who come to Nicola can expect straightforward language and honest conversation. She encourages gentle challenges and practical exercises where helpful. The aim is to leave sessions with clearer next steps and a little more confidence about coping between appointments.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The counsellor follows what matters to you, offering empathy and reflection so you feel heard and clearer about your own choices. This approach helps when people are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or major life changes.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what is already working. It helps set realistic goals and notice progress quickly, which can be useful for workplace issues, motivation or social anxiety. Sessions often include short exercises and clear actions to try between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicola will discuss options with you and together you can decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as you make progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, mid-day reflections or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep momentum between sessions.
