About Nikki
Nikki Dunne is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship strain and related concerns. Nikki's approach treats the client as the expert in their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths.
In a session she listens without judgement and helps people talk through what is happening now. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. Nikki aims to help clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding and practise calmer reactions to stress and anger.
Her main therapeutic style is Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions concentrate on the person's experience and priorities. That approach is useful for managing low mood, anxiety, anger and coping with life changes. It also supports people processing past hurt and trauma when they are ready to do so.
Nikki also works with issues that often sit alongside anger, such as guilt, shame, isolation and problems rooted in family of origin or attachment. She helps people explore how these issues affect their day-to-day reactions and relationships. Sessions combine listening with practical suggestions for small changes that can reduce tension and improve communication.
People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted.
How sessions work
Client-Centred care and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client's priorities. This approach helps when anger is tied to feeling misunderstood, low mood or difficulty expressing needs.That same approach can help with trauma and anxiety by letting the person set the pace. Conversations focus on what is most pressing now, so someone with anger linked to past hurt or relationship strain can work through immediate reactions first and then look at deeper patterns when ready.
Finding the best way of working is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit their preferences, and adjust as needed. Together they decide how to balance discussing past experiences, current triggers and practical changes for everyday situations.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practicalities and help plan sessions around the client's life and aims.
