Nicolette Bennett, BACP

Nicolette Bennett helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction. She is known for plain, direct support for issues like depression, relationship strain, self-esteem and eating concerns. She uses approachable language and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Nicolette holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years' experience in counselling and cognitive behavioural practice. Her background includes roles as a substance misuse mentor, an outreach youth worker and supporting adults with mental health and mobility needs.

Her work often addresses panic attacks, dissociation, abandonment fears and control issues. She also supports people with drug and alcohol addiction, bipolar mood concerns, grief and compassion fatigue. Young adult issues are a regular focus alongside general life changes and career stress.

Sessions combine client-centred listening with practical CBT tools. That means people can expect to be heard and to practise skills for managing thoughts, moods and behaviour. She adapts her approach to what each person says works for them.

Nicolette offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding. The therapist focuses on what matters to the person and follows their pace, helping them feel heard and seen during sessions. This approach helps people who need space to talk through painful experiences and to make sense of strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses structured techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It includes practical exercises and strategies that people can try between sessions, which can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and problem behaviours related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then suggests ways of working that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time as progress is made or priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when time and internet allow, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and texting or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments.
