Nichola Faiers

Nichola Faiers welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or changes in life. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member and aims to make sessions calm and approachable for anyone who needs to talk. Nichola writes simply and listens closely so that each person can be heard without judgement.

She offers a session style that focuses on the person in front of her. Conversations are led by what matters to the client in the moment, with attention to thoughts, feelings and relationships. Nichola adopts a gentle person-centred approach, which means she encourages people to find and use their own strengths while being supported in the room.

Nichola also uses a relational way of working. That means she focuses on how people connect with others and how those patterns show up in day-to-day life. This can help when body image, attachment worries, communication problems or issues around control are causing distress.

She has worked with people coping with grief and loss, shifts in motivation and time management, low self-esteem, social anxiety and depression. Her practice pays attention to guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose alongside those concerns.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what each person needs. Nichola aims to create an open space where clients can speak freely and start to make practical sense of what they are facing.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Person centred work focuses on the person’s own experience and strengths, helping them to talk through current worries and discover practical ways forward. This approach is useful for low mood, stress, self-esteem worries and deciding what matters next in life.

A relational approach looks at how people connect with others and how those patterns affect everyday feelings and behaviour. It can help when communication problems, attachment worries or social anxiety are getting in the way of relationships and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ways of working suit a person’s goals and preferences, and can adjust the focus as needs change over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a familiar setting or who need a quieter time slot during the day. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors with BACP membership, use these flexible approaches to help people keep therapy practical and manageable.
