About Nicola

Nicola Murray is a counsellor with six years of experience helping adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious or unsure where to turn. She focuses on practical ways to manage stress and anxiety and on restoring a clearer sense of self. Nicola works with people who are navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief and other life changes.

She trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, commonly written as CBT, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Nicola mixes CBT with acceptance and mindfulness-based ideas and attachment thinking to suit each person's needs. She prefers to keep sessions collaborative and straightforward. Nicola often supports people dealing with ADHD, anger, sleep or eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue from caregiving.

She also has experience with trauma and abuse, and with concerns linked to identity and sexuality, including LGBT issues and alternative sex culture. In sessions she uses clear techniques - for example, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, practising small behavioural steps, and trying out different ways of communicating.

She aims to teach tools people can use between meetings so progress continues outside the room. Her approach is practical and paced to each person. Nicola checks in about what is working and adapts the plan if needed.

She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session types to suit different routines and locations.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what really matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviours and experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and how early connections shape current responses, which can help with intimacy, trust and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. She adapts methods over time and checks in to make sure sessions feel useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write or want brief, frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still using established therapeutic techniques.
