About Nicky
Nicky Owen is a counsellor with 20 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Nicky aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people who are anxious or unsure.
Nicky focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and the practical struggles that affect day-to-day life. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, addiction and stress.
Background and approach
Sessions concentrate on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon, so people can start to see small changes quickly. Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. Nicky listens closely to what matters to each person and builds on existing strengths.
That means sessions are shaped around real goals, not distant theories, and clients can bring whatever feels most pressing into the room. Nicky uses methods drawn from attachment-informed work, emotionally-focused techniques and solution-focused ideas to support people through difficult moments. She also draws on trauma-focused strategies when past events are affecting present life.
This mix helps with emotion regulation, building closer connections and finding ways to move forward. People who come to Nicky often want straightforward guidance, a steady presence and practical steps they can try between sessions. She aims to create a calm, respectful space for talking through relationship issues, parenting worries, grief, anxiety and difficult life changes.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicky will talk through options and check what feels most useful for each person. She aims to tailor techniques to the client’s goals and preferences so therapy feels collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home or work; phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
