About Nichola
Nichola Faiers offers calm, approachable support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps with low mood, grief, low self esteem and the knock-on effects of difficult life events. Her style aims to make it easier to say what’s on your mind and to find practical ways forward.
Nichola is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. She has three years of experience offering one-to-one counselling in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and based on what you bring to the room, so the pace is set to match your needs. Her work follows a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert on their own life. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people notice options they may already have.
There is also an emphasis on the relationship in session, building a genuine connection that helps difficult feelings feel more manageable. Nichola supports people with a range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including attachment issues, body image, communication problems and struggles with guilt or shame. She also helps people dealing with isolation, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety.
Sessions focus on the here and now, exploring thoughts and feelings that arise in the moment. The counsellor adapts the work to suit each person, helping them try out different ways of coping and notice what changes over time.

Focus areas and approaches
What Nichola works with
Everything Nichola lists, in their own terms.
Online support
A relational emphasis means the connection in session is part of the healing. The counsellor pays attention to how you feel in the moment and uses that material to understand patterns and responses. This can help with issues like attachment, shame or difficulties with communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nichola will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose how to proceed. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you hold a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between longer sessions, or people who find typing easier than speaking.
These online options allow people to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
