Nicky Young, BACP

Nicky Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which means she meets the standards set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Nicky focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and shifts in motivation.

She offers straightforward support for depression, anger, and difficulties sleeping. Nicky also helps people cope with life changes, workplace pressures and compassion fatigue. She works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, grief, and trauma and abuse, as well as addiction-related issues.

Nicky blends client-centred listening with mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies. In sessions she encourages people to set small, practical goals and to notice what works in daily life. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each persons needs.

She also supports fertility-related stress, feelings of guilt or shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and midlife transitions. Nicky offers help with self-love and womens issues alongside coaching-style support for career and workplace matters.

Her approach is calm and direct. People can expect a non-judgemental space to talk, practical steps to try between sessions, and gentle guidance toward clearer decisions. Taking the first step can feel difficult and she aims to make that step easier to take.

How Nickys approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the persons experience. It helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without judgement and can reduce the intensity of worry and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that lead to quick improvements and suits people wanting short-term, goal-orientated work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicky will talk through what matters to the client, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps find what feels most useful for coping with anxiety, life changes, workplace issues or relationship concerns.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging helps people reflect between meetings. These options give flexibility for timing, pace and communication style while keeping the focus on practical change.
