About Nicky
Nicky Owen has worked in counselling for 20 years. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and has a long record of supporting people through difficult life events. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to start therapy.
She helps people who are struggling with relationships and family matters. She also offers support for grief and loss, and for people trying to rebuild self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person brings, not on labels or judgments. Nicky uses approaches that draw on attachment ideas and emotional connection. That means she pays attention to how past relationships affect present feelings and reactions.
She helps people notice patterns and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Her style is collaborative and practical. Conversations aim to make small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Sometimes the work focuses on feelings and relationships, and other times on concrete steps to manage stress or addictive behaviours. She accepts people from the UK and international clients who speak English. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit the person’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches that work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape feelings and reactions now. In online sessions this can help people understand why they respond the way they do in close relationships and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the emotions behind relationship patterns and helps people name and work with those feelings to create safer emotional bonds. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicky will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and agree on an approach together. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change, combining emotional focus and practical steps when helpful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and tone. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be quicker for a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need a less formal pace. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
