About Nikki

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship worries, low self-esteem, grief and difficulties around intimacy. Nikki speaks simply and directly so people can feel understood when they first reach out.

Nikki works from a client-centred perspective that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She assumes people bring strengths and resources that can be noticed and built on.

Background and approach

In practical terms this means listening without judgement, asking clear questions and reflecting back what she hears. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk about what matters to them and make small changes that feel doable. Nikki offers space to process painful events, to look at patterns in relationships, and to explore feelings such as shame, guilt or isolation.

She also supports people experiencing panic, anger or burnout from caregiving roles. With three years of professional experience she has worked with a range of presenting concerns and continuing to develop her practice. Nikki is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

People can expect a calm, patient approach where the counsellor follows the person’s lead while offering gentle challenges when helpful. The aim is to find ways forward that fit each person's life and values. Her style is straightforward and warm, suitable for someone taking their first step towards change.

Conversations focus on what the person needs now and on practical next steps they can try between sessions.

Ways of working Nikki names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people notice their own strengths. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns and recovering from trauma.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. The counsellor will work with the person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful and to set clear, realistic goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work together and adjustments can be made as needs change.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days and suit people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across different schedules and locations, while giving people choice over how they communicate.
