Nichola Salter, BACP

Nichola Salter helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and low self esteem. She supports people with relationship and family issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and career worries. She also works with those coping with life changes, coaching needs and ADHD. Nichola uses clear, practical talking therapy to help people make sense of what is happening and find ways forward.

Nichola has five years of counselling experience and works within the United Kingdom. She draws on a varied background before counselling, bringing a practical outlook to sessions. People can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can use between meetings.

Her approach centres on listening to each person's experience and helping them discover their own strengths. Nichola works from client-centred principles, which means the person is treated as the expert on their life. She combines this with cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Mindfulness techniques feature in her work to help reduce overwhelm and build calm. Solution-focused strategies help set small, achievable goals so progress feels realistic. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with space for emotional processing as needed.

Nichola offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are delivered in English for people located in the United Kingdom. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the person's lead, helping them build on their own strengths and decide what changes matter most. This approach can help with low self esteem, relationship difficulties and times of major life change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree on methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style meetings, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter, prompt exchanges and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to have therapy around work, family and other commitments and allow people across the United Kingdom to access registered or accredited professionals without travel.
