Nigel Jordan, NCPS

Nigel Jordan is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and grief. Nigel works with adults using a warm, respectful style that focuses on listening and understanding.

He trained as a counsellor and holds NCPS, which is noted as his professional credential. Over his career he has worked in both clinical settings and private practice. That experience has shaped a practical way of working that balances talking, emotional reflection and problem-solving.

Nigel uses several therapy approaches depending on what a person needs. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones. He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He also offers emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when people want to examine feelings and meaning in life.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Nigel helps people name difficulties, try small experiments between sessions, and build clearer ways to cope. He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so sessions are easy to follow.

People come for many reasons beyond the main concerns listed. Nigel also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, separation and substance-related problems.

He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging and accepts clients from other countries. To begin, interested people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and connections. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways in close relationships and supports rebuilding trust and safety in connections.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test out alternative responses and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people access and process strong feelings and use those emotions to build clearer communication and closer bonds in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nigel will talk with each person about what matters to them, their goals and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for a closer, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy going alongside work, family and other commitments.
