About Nico

Nico Novell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. He works with adults who want to handle anger, relationship strain, stress and related concerns. He speaks English, Spanish and Catalan and accepts international clients.

Nico focuses on clear, practical conversation about what is causing repeated outbursts or simmering resentment. He helps people look at triggers, communication patterns and how daily pressures add up. Sessions are straightforward and aim to make anger easier to recognise and manage in everyday life.

He draws on client-centred work to prioritise what the person brings to the room. That approach means the client sets the pace and themes while the therapist follows their concerns. Nico also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and past experiences that keep anger cycling.

Clients often come for help with addictions, grief, anxiety, depression, or difficulties around intimacy and family of origin issues. He also addresses concerns such as body image, control issues, codependency and gender dysphoria when these link to a person’s anger or distress.

Sessions aim to be practical rather than theoretical. Conversations look at ways to change how someone reacts, how they talk with others, and how they plan for stressful moments. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service.

How sessions work

How his approaches work for online sessions

Nico uses client-centred work and psychodynamic ideas in his practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the topics the client brings. It helps when someone needs a responsive listener and practical ways to handle anger in daily life. Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeating patterns and past experiences that influence how a person reacts now, which can be useful for longstanding anger or relationship issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients test what feels most useful, adapt methods as needed, and set short-term goals alongside longer-term exploration. This is a collaborative process guided by the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins between face-to-face appointments. They also allow people to choose quieter surroundings, shorter phone check-ins or video sessions depending on what suits their schedule and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use online work to support consistency and practical progress.
