About Nicky
Nicky Young is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they find hard to say. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel less daunting.
Nicky focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps with self-esteem, confidence, work-related strain and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Practical issues like sleep problems, anger and addictions are also part of her work. Her approach is collaborative. Nicky listens first to understand what matters to each person.
Then she helps identify small, manageable changes to try between sessions. Sessions have a practical feel but keep attention on feelings and personal values. She uses client-centred listening to make people feel heard.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build calm and reduce worry. Solution-focused tools help set clear goals and track progress. Nicky also gives space to complex experiences such as grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
She supports people dealing with fertility issues, guilt, isolation and questions about life purpose. Her aim is to help people find steadier footing and clearer direction. If you want straightforward help with daily pressures or a plan to move forward, Nicky offers an approachable way to start exploring those changes.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. These short exercises can be practised between sessions and suit people who want tools to calm racing thoughts.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear goals and small steps. It helps people identify what is already working and build practical changes quickly, which is useful for career decisions, motivation and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will listen to your needs, discuss options and agree what to try first. Sessions can shift over time as goals change so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone is handy for shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging suits quick reflections or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and everyday life.
