About Jay
Jay Nicol is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with depression, compassion fatigue and parenting concerns.
Jay creates a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She focuses on building a trusting connection and finding what helps each person feel steadier day to day.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs. Her background includes working with people who experience panic attacks, social anxiety and persistent feelings of guilt or shame. She pays attention to how these patterns affect daily life and relationships, and helps people try out different ways of coping.
Jay aims to highlight each person’s strengths and practical options for change. She adapts the approach to what the individual finds useful, rather than using a single fixed method. Inclusivity is central to her practice and she works to make people feel heard and respected.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Jay offers steady support through that process. Conversations focus on realistic goals and small steps that can build confidence and better wellbeing over time.

Focus areas and approaches
What Jay works with
Everything Jay lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jay will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and adjusted as required.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection feels important. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler setup. Live chat and text-based messaging give shorter, in-the-moment check-ins and fit around busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, parenting and other commitments, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
