About Nicola

Nicola Lomas offers support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also focuses on issues around sexuality and LGBT concerns. Nicola aims to make the first step feel manageable and to help people feel heard from the start.

Nicola uses an integrative style. That means she draws on different therapeutic ideas and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual, so people can move at a speed that feels right.

Background and approach

A key area of Nicola's practice is supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape. She works sensitively and listens closely to the impact those experiences have had. Together with the client, Nicola looks at how to rebuild self-trust and day-to-day coping after trauma.

Nicola trained to a Bachelor of Science with Honours level and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of experience working with people on deep and often painful issues. Work in sessions may include talking through painful memories, looking at patterns such as attachment or abandonment, and addressing feelings like guilt, shame or isolation.

Nicola also helps people navigate communication problems and build self-compassion. Sessions can be arranged online in different formats, and Nicola accepts people based in the United Kingdom and international clients. She encourages anyone unsure about starting to complete the short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Nicola lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How Nicola's approaches translate to online therapy

Nicola draws on integrative and trauma-informed ideas that focus on tailored, practical work. Integrative counselling mixes different therapeutic perspectives into a single plan. It helps when someone needs a flexible approach that fits their personality and goals. Trauma-informed ways of working focus on pacing, safety and rebuilding trust in the body and relationships, which can be useful for survivors of sexual abuse and rape.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Nicola will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. That discussion helps decide which techniques to use and how fast to go, so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online formats offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel and are good for longer, deeper sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and help people maintain continuity of care around work, travel or family life.
