About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She trained in person-centred counselling and holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Person-Centred Counselling and a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology. Nicola aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
She works in a client-led, adaptable way and tailors sessions to each person’s pace and needs. Nicola draws on person-centred ideas alongside other approaches to meet practical concerns. She places emphasis on listening closely and helping people find their own next steps.
Nicola supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, self-esteem, body image and coping with life changes. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas.
Her approach is informed by Attachment-Based Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, mindfulness and narrative elements, and she also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate. Nicola describes her work as collaborative and respectful of each person’s experience.
Sessions are offered in English and Nicola accepts international clients. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and Nicola welcomes a short introductory conversation to see how she might help.
How Nicola brings attachment and person-centred work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how we connect now. In online sessions this looks like noticing patterns in relationships, exploring emotional needs and slowly trying different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Client-centred practice places the person at the heart of the session and means Nicola follows each individual's pace, using listening and reflection to help people make sense of their experience.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola will discuss your goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape the work and allows adjustments as needs change.
The original biography lists online video, telephone and text-based sessions, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work or other commitments, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits you. Many people find it helpful to keep continuity of care when travel or location would otherwise interrupt therapy, and Nicola aims to help you use whatever format works best for your routine.
