Nora Mullan, NCPS

Nora Mullan is an integrative counsellor who draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle stress, anxiety and addiction. She has five years of professional experience and works in a practical, down-to-earth way. Nora aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

Nora has helped people in workplace assistance programmes and in higher education and school settings. She supports those facing depression, low self-esteem, grief and confidence issues. She also helps people manage life changes and the strains that come with caregiving, chronic illness or long-term pain.

In sessions she listens without judgement and looks for the patterns that keep people stuck. She believes people already have strengths they can use, and the work is about finding new paths forward. Conversations are focused on realistic, personal solutions rather than abstract theory.

Nora is also experienced supporting people with drug and alcohol addiction, impulsivity and social anxiety. She pays attention to how money worries, workplace pressures and midlife questions affect daily life. Her approach is practical and collaborative, with small steps that build confidence over time.

People who choose Nora can expect clear conversations and down-to-earth planning. She encourages small, manageable changes and checks in on progress. The goal is to help people feel less alone and more able to cope with what life brings.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Nora uses an integrative style that pulls together evidence-based techniques to suit each person. One common approach she uses involves practical problem-solving and coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This helps people break big problems into doable steps and test changes between sessions. Another strand focuses on building self-esteem and reducing shame through structured conversations and exercises that challenge unhelpful beliefs and encourage self-kindness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nora will discuss options with each person and decide which techniques match their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy with Nora is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions can fit more easily into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules.
