About Nicola
Nicola Martin helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy problems, and major life changes. She meets people who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to move forward. Nicola uses simple, practical steps to help with day-to-day coping and emotional overwhelm.
She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. Nicola draws on an integrative counselling approach, which means she can use ideas from several different therapy models to match a person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening and to build strategies for managing strong feelings like anxiety, anger, shame or emptiness. Nicola also offers support around issues such as abandonment, attachment challenges, jealousy and commitment worries.
She has worked in mental health settings and with people who have survived sexual assault, and has experience helping people with anxiety, depression and panic. Nicola focuses on understanding where difficult feelings come from and on practical ways to reduce their impact. The aim is to find clearer choices and small, steady steps towards feeling better.
Therapy can include short-term tools for coping alongside deeper work on patterns that keep causing pain. Nicola uses listening, reflection and achievable tasks between sessions so progress can continue outside the room. Sessions are available via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Nicola holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. She has three years of clinical experience and offers appointments through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will listen to your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. She will check in and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most, making decisions collaboratively rather than imposing a single technique.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when that helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or who need support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping momentum between appointments.
