Nico Novell, BACP

Nico Novell helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression and relationship or family difficulties. He welcomes individuals facing addictions, grief, self‑esteem struggles and stress. He communicates in English, Spanish and Catalan to support a wider range of clients across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Nico works from a respectful and compassionate stance. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. He emphasises small, practical steps and clear goals so progress feels manageable.

With 20 years of experience he has supported people through trauma, abuse and issues around intimacy and eating. He also addresses concerns linked to codependency, control issues, dissociation and body image. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, cancer-related worries and challenges around gender dysphoria.

Nico draws on client-centred ways of working to put the person’s own priorities at the centre. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. Together these approaches help people understand what they want to change and why.

Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and communication style. He encourages straightforward conversation and practical skills for coping with life changes. The aim is to build small, sustainable shifts that make daily life easier.

People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first appointment. Nico supports international clients and offers flexible contact options.

How his approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own goals and experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely and helps people decide what matters most, which is useful for issues like anxiety, stress, relationship worries and self-esteem concerns.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. It helps people make sense of feelings tied to past experiences, which can be helpful for trauma, grief, intimacy issues and recurring conflicts.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan together, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This collaborative process ensures the focus remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when seeing non-verbal cues matters, phone calls are useful if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access a therapist from different locations.
