About Nicola

Nicola 'Nikki' Crosby helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She is based in the United Kingdom and lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials. Nikki writes in a direct, supportive way and encourages people to take the first step toward getting help.

Nikki keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She invites clients to talk about what is worrying them and listens without judgement.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on making sense of feelings, improving communication, and finding manageable ways to cope day to day. Her work also addresses related issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. Nikki has experience with challenges that arise after separation or divorce, and with the effects of domestic violence and trauma.

She offers a calm, encouraging approach for people who find themselves stuck or overwhelmed. Over four years she has built experience responding to a wide range of difficulties, including dissociation and complications linked to autism and avoidant personality patterns. Nikki asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to start therapy.

Sessions are arranged around what works for the individual. Her aim is to help people feel heard and to support clear steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options

Many of Nikki's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and patterns. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. This style is practical and works well for stress, anxiety and depression.

Another helpful strand centres on attachment and relational patterns. This approach looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and communication, and it supports people who struggle with abandonment, codependency or commitment worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nikki discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. Therapy is collaborative and the plan can be adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family duties and daily life.
