About Nicola
Nicola Bagust is a counsellor who works with people facing relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression and issues related to addiction. She holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and draws on seven years of professional experience to offer calm, practical support. Nicola keeps conversations straightforward and respectful.
She adapts the way she talks and plans sessions to suit each person's needs. Her aim is to help people find clearer thinking, better choices and more confidence as they move through hard times.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on the here-and-now as well as understanding what led to a problem. That might mean talking through relationship patterns, steps for coping with loss, or small changes to rebuild day-to-day motivation. Nicola also helps people consider how addictive behaviour affects themselves and others.
She says the first steps take courage, and she offers steady support while clients set goals and test out new ways of coping. Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person rather than a fixed programme. Practical arrangements, such as session timing and format, are adjusted to suit each client.
Nicola works in English and practises in the United Kingdom, drawing on her seven years of experience to guide the process.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and better coping. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavioural changes to shift relationships and mood; this helps people regain momentum with day-to-day tasks and confidence. Another approach looks at responses to loss and trauma, helping people process grief and reduce the ways past events continue to cause pain in the present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola works with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find a way of working that feels useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
