Nadine Daubney, BACP

Nadine Daubney offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She helps with low mood, self-esteem struggles, career uncertainty, addiction concerns and difficulties with intimacy or relationships. Nadine is approachable and down-to-earth, and she works at each person's pace.

Nadine holds BACP and has eight years of counselling experience. She trained in person-centred ways of working and has undertaken further study in high intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, plus trauma-focused techniques. Her experience includes supporting people through bereavement, trauma and adjustment to new circumstances.

Sessions focus on being heard and on learning useful skills. Nadine aims to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour, try practical steps, and build coping strategies they can use outside sessions. She keeps language simple and avoids clinical jargon.

Her background includes many different settings and client situations gathered during an international career and volunteer work. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs. Nadine emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every interaction.

When working together she aims to create a safe space to talk, to help clients set realistic goals, and to practise techniques between sessions. Over time the focus is on building confidence to manage problems independently and make clearer decisions about next steps.

How Nadine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space. Online sessions use that same attitude so clients can feel understood while talking through their concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and some addiction patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact through carefully paced work.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Nadine works collaboratively to decide whether person-centred listening, CBT tools or trauma-focused techniques suit the client’s situation. She will adapt methods over time based on what the client finds useful and what their goals are.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that helps, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or chat can work well for ongoing support or notes between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules.
