Nico Novell

Nico Novell offers warm, straightforward support for people facing eating and food-related issues and other life challenges. He works in English, Spanish and Catalan and draws on 20 years of experience to help people talk through what matters most. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he focuses on practical ways to move forward.

In sessions he listens closely and adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. He uses client-centred ways of working to follow what the person brings to the room. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that still affect feelings and behaviour today.

People come for a range of concerns including anxiety, stress, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addictions, body image and eating related challenges. He also supports those coping with major life changes such as separation, career shifts or serious illness in the family.

Nico holds BACP, which is a professional membership indicating a recognised counsellor association in the United Kingdom. He has practised for two decades across varied settings and adapts his approach to each person’s situation.

Sessions are offered for people both within the UK and internationally. Before booking, people are encouraged to check current session options and scheduling. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire on the site and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead, offering acceptance and real listening so people can clarify what they want to change. It is useful for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and eating related worries because the counsellor shapes sessions around each person’s priorities.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and how earlier experiences influence how someone feels and reacts now. It can help when people want to understand long-standing habits, emotional reactions or relational patterns that affect their eating, mood or relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to try different ways of working and settle on methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation about fit is part of the first sessions.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, such as arranging appointments across time zones or avoiding travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone choose a quieter moment without going to an office. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available for scheduling.
