Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi, BACP

Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress and major life changes. She also supports career concerns, anger, parenting-related strain, and feelings of loneliness. Nancy presents a calm, straightforward presence to guide people through practical steps and honest conversation.

Nancy works in short, focused sessions that balance listening with gentle challenge. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, better communication and stronger boundaries so daily life feels more manageable.

She holds BACP accreditation, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Nancy has seven years of professional experience supporting clients across a range of emotional and practical issues. That background includes helping people with attachment and commitment difficulties, workplace strain, and questions about life purpose.

Nancy takes a collaborative approach. She asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps people try out new ways of relating and coping. Progress is tracked through small, achievable goals and regular review.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Nancy often uses short exercises between sessions to practise skills such as communication, self-soothing and planning. She offers a respectful, non-judgemental space for people wanting steady, practical help.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their rhythm and availability.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Briefly described, evidence-based therapeutic techniques commonly used include person-centred listening that focuses on understanding your experience and building trust, and solution-focused work that narrows efforts onto practical steps and goals you can try right away. Person-centred listening helps when people need space to be heard and to make sense of feelings. Solution-focused approaches suit those who want concrete changes and short-term plans to tackle specific problems.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values and how they prefer to work. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats make this collaborative work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions provide a simpler, lower-bandwidth option and can fit into a break from work. Live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions and flexible contact when writing feels easier than talking. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer steady, accessible support that fits everyday routines.
