Nicola Jameson, BACP, NCPS

Nicola Jameson is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and focuses on practical, person-centred support. Nicola aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She helps people who are struggling with relationships, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and issues around career and motivation. Nicola also supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, sleep or eating problems, anger, and challenges linked to life changes or ADHD. Her additional focus areas include attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, bereavement connected to cancer, and substance misuse.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Nicola uses client-centred approaches to build trust and understand what matters most to the individual. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when practical steps and structured coping tools are useful.

When emotional regulation or patterns in relationships are central, she incorporates elements from dialectical behaviour work and emotionally-focused methods. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and find clearer ways to manage feelings and connections with others.

People meet Nicola for a blend of talking, problem-solving and skill building. She works collaboratively to set goals and to adjust the plan as progress is made. Nicola accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Nicola uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. This approach helps when people notice repeated patterns in close relationships or feel stuck by trust and closeness issues.

She also works in a client-centred way, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the person’s priorities lead the sessions. This is useful for people who want to explore their concerns at their own pace and set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Nicola treats it as a collaborative conversation. She will discuss different options, try out techniques, and adapt methods to match a person’s needs and preferences rather than use a single fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction; phone sessions can fit a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use a written format instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
