About Nicola

Nicola Jameson is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self‑esteem, workplace stress and anxiety, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, and anger. Sessions also address life changes and attention difficulties such as ADHD.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Nicola listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people name what is happening and tries out new ways to respond. Conversations are direct and paced to what the client can manage.

Nicola uses a mix of methods depending on the issue. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions. She also uses client-centred work to make space for the person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioural techniques to test thoughts and behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas appear when emotions feel overwhelming.

Typical work includes managing anger that shows up at home or work, coping with loss, and reducing anxiety-driven habits. She also supports people dealing with substance or behavioural addictions, and those facing major life shifts such as separation or bereavement.

People who choose Nicola tend to want practical tools and clear steps. She invites clients to try strategies between sessions and reflect on what does or doesn’t help. International clients may be accepted; sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work

Approaches Nicola Uses and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help when strong emotions or trust issues repeat in adult relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and uses reflective listening to clarify what matters and what to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tries small experiments to test new responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicola will discuss options and decide together which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change as progress is made or new needs emerge.

Confirm which online session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to use tools and worksheets during sessions and to practise skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals like Nicola aim to shape sessions around what fits a person’s life and daily routines.
