Nichola Faiers, BACP

Nichola Faiers works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, low mood or grief. She welcomes those struggling with self-esteem, motivation or life changes and offers calm, non-judgemental support to talk things through. Nichola is named as a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Nichola aims to create a relaxed space where people can speak openly. Sessions focus on the person's experience in the here and now. That means attention to current thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns rather than lengthy paperwork or tests.

She uses a person-centred way of working, which puts the client's own strengths and choices at the centre of conversations. Nichola also emphasises a relational approach, building an authentic connection that helps people explore difficult emotions and situations.

In practice she tailors her conversations to each person. This can include looking at stress management, practical coping steps, communication difficulties and feelings of isolation or shame. Nichola aims to help people find clearer ways to manage everyday pressures and to rebuild confidence.

With three years of experience in counselling, she brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. People who want straightforward conversation about anxiety, grief, body image, control issues or life purpose may find her approach helpful.

How Nichola’s approaches work online

Nichola works from a person-centred approach which focuses on the client's own strengths and choices. In sessions she encourages people to express themselves and to find their own solutions, so conversations centre on what matters most to the individual and their values.

She also uses a relational way of working that pays attention to the connection between counsellor and client. This helps when exploring difficult feelings such as grief, shame, isolation or problems with communication, because the therapeutic relationship itself becomes part of the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nichola will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt conversations accordingly. That collaboration helps pick ways of working that suit the issue and the individual, whether the focus is on coping strategies, exploring emotions or improving self-esteem.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and have face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins or ongoing written dialogue that can fit around work, study and busy days. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit counselling into everyday life.
