Nancy Woliter, BACP

Nancy Woliter is a BACP counsellor who has worked in counselling for nine years. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy worries, and many other concerns. Nancy practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her style is person-centred. That means she listens without judgement and follows the pace the client needs. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and solution-focused work that aims to find practical next steps. Sessions can be short-term or longer-term depending on what a person needs. Clients come with a wide range of issues such as stress, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem, anger, and work or career worries. Additional focuses include attachment and communication problems, domestic violence, separation and divorce, drug and alcohol addiction, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, phobias and panic, gender dysphoria, loneliness, and post-traumatic stress. In a session Nancy aims to help people build on strengths and notice what is working, while also learning practical strategies to manage difficult moments. She encourages clearer thinking about problems and small changes that can make a difference day to day. Her approach is straightforward and focused on the things that matter to each person. People who choose Nancy can expect a calm listening style combined with practical tools. She works collaboratively to find ways forward, and tailors the work to each person’s goals and life context.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathic listening, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions; this is helpful for low self-esteem, grief, relationship worries and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, panic and unhelpful behaviour patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, achievable steps and helps people identify what they want to be different and how to get there.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods with the client. That way the plan matches the person’s needs, whether they want practical techniques, space to talk, or a mix of both.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for a face-to-face conversation, phone can be more convenient or need less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, travel or family life while working with registered or accredited professionals.
