Nichola Salter helps people affected by stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and depression.
About Nichola
Nichola Salter helps people affected by stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and depression. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, family problems, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career changes and ADHD. Nichola uses straightforward language and practical steps to make therapy feel manageable.
Nichola works from a belief that each person knows their own story best. She asks questions, listens closely and helps people spot their strengths. Sessions aim to break big problems into smaller, workable tasks.
Background and approach
The focus is on what people can try between sessions to make steady progress. Her background includes five years of professional counselling experience and a BACP credential. Nichola draws on a mix of talking approaches to suit different needs.
She combines client-centred listening with structured ideas when thinking patterns or behaviours are getting in the way. When someone is dealing with grief, trauma or addiction she uses calm, paced conversations to help them regain footing. For stress, anxiety and day-to-day coping she offers practical techniques that can be used straight away.
For life choices and career moves she offers short-term coaching-style work to clarify goals. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Nichola asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match them appropriately and to schedule sessions that fit their routine.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nichola will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress continues.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone calls work well for people with limited bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or those who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and help keep continuity when life gets busy.
