About Nicky

Nicky Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She sees people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those trying to rebuild confidence and motivation. Nicky focuses on helping people take the first steps when life feels stuck or confusing.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with time to reflect and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Conversation is guided by what matters most to the client. Nicky draws on client-centred ways of working, so the person sets the pace and direction. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and rumination.

Solution-focused tools bring short-term, achievable steps when people want clear progress. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep issues, anger and addictions. She also supports people with workplace stress, career questions, compassion fatigue and issues around self-worth and life purpose.

Nicky is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available times.

Practical approaches for online counselling

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, letting their concerns and priorities shape each session. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to decide what change feels right for them.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and physical sensations without getting swept up in them. It can be useful for reducing stress, easing anxiety and improving sleep through short, practical exercises.

Solution-focused work focuses on small, achievable steps rather than long discussions about the past. It is helpful for people who want clear, short-term goals such as improving confidence, managing workplace stress or handling a specific problem.

Nicky will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. Deciding what fits usually happens together during the early sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can pick what suits their schedule and circumstances. Video calls let you use visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, and messaging or live chat can be easier to fit into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and lifestyles.
