About Nicola
Nicola Kassam offers a person-focused counselling style that puts the client's experience first. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries and depression. Nicola works in English and supports people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
With five years in therapeutic practice and a background in careers, employability and welfare, Nicola draws on everyday experience to make therapy relevant. She listens closely to what matters to each person and helps them find workable steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded rather than full of jargon. Nicola is comfortable talking through family tension, grief and relationship strains. She also supports people dealing with trauma, eating and food-related concerns, chronic illness or disability, and feelings of isolation.
Her work includes attention to multicultural issues, adoption and foster care experiences, and challenges faced by veterans and armed forces communities. Her approach mixes client-centred conversations with mindfulness practices, existential reflection and motivational interviewing. That combination helps people explore meaning, build day-to-day coping skills, and strengthen motivation for change.
Nicola encourages practical tools alongside reflection so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Nicola describes therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set clear, personal goals.
She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Approaches Nicola lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will work with each person to decide which mix of listening, reflection and practical exercises fits their goals. She encourages people to set clear aims and reviews progress together so the plan can change when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and shared exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit counselling around work, study and family commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
