About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy issues and sleep problems. People who are managing parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood swings or big life changes can talk things through with her.
Nicolette lists compassion fatigue, panic attacks, dissociation and feelings of emptiness among her focus areas. Nicolette is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She trained as an integrative counsellor and practises cognitive behavioural techniques alongside person-centred work. That means sessions can include practical exercises, and also space to be heard without judgement. Her work history includes roles as a substance misuse mentor, outreach youth worker and supporter of adults with disabilities and mobility needs.
She has experience helping people with complex mental health issues and has provided telephone and online counselling in the past. Those roles contribute to a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Sessions are collaborative.
Nicolette aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try manageable steps to feel steadier. She will tailor the mix of talking, problem-solving and skills practice to what each person needs. Clients can expect clear language and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when that feels right.
Her approach suits people who want both practical tools and a listening space to work through difficult experiences.

Sessions & fees
Online approaches and how they work
Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a listening space where the person leads the conversation and feels understood; it helps with emotional concerns like low self-esteem, grief and relationship stresses. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms such as panic attacks, anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicolette will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as sessions progress so the work fits the individual.
Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let people see the counsellor and use visual cues, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or need support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, and let therapists offer consistent contact even when in-person meetings are difficult.
