About Nicola

Nicola Dove offers straightforward, warm support for adults facing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. She writes in plain language and helps clients untangle difficult feelings. Her approach is gentle and non-judgemental, aiming to make sessions feel manageable and focused on what matters to each person.

She trained in integrative counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling. Nicola is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on a blend of approaches to suit each client.

Background and approach

That means sessions can be adapted to your needs rather than following a fixed script. In sessions Nicola listens for patterns that keep problems going. She uses practical techniques alongside reflective conversation.

You might work on thinking habits, small behaviour changes, relaxation and mindfulness, or talk through painful past experiences that still affect you now. Nicola often supports people dealing with stress, depression, relationship strain, addictions, parenting pressures and grief. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, panic attacks, self-harm thoughts, and feeling empty or isolated.

The emphasis is on helping you find clearer choices and small steps forward. Her style is collaborative and paced to your comfort. Nicola understands deciding to start counselling can feel hard.

She aims to create a space where you are heard, can name what matters, and begin practical changes that fit your life.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Nicola uses different approaches online

Nicola commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective, helping you feel accepted and able to explore what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to change them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts methods as progress and needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can help you reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines, and to keep momentum when life gets busy.
