About Nichola
Nichola Faiers is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Nichola also supports people dealing with attachment issues, body image concerns, communication or control problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and social anxiety.
Nichola offers sessions that centre on listening and conversation. She invites clients to talk through what matters to them and pays attention to thoughts and feelings in the present moment. Sessions are collaborative - she discusses options with each person and adapts how they work together over time.
Her practice draws on a gentle person-centred stance. That means she starts from the view that clients have strengths and internal resources to address the issues that brought them to counselling. At the same time she emphasises the relationship in the room, aiming for authentic, mutual contact rather than a one-way direction.
In practical terms Nichola helps people make sense of upsetting events, improve confidence, manage day-to-day stress and think about changes they want to make. Conversations can include exploring current patterns, looking at feelings of guilt or shame, and trying out different ways of responding to difficult situations.
She works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
She describes a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and supporting the client's own resources. This way of working means sessions often begin with the client directing the conversation and identifying which concerns feel most urgent, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief and depression.She also emphasises a relational approach, paying attention to the connection between counsellor and client in the present moment. That focus is useful when people want to understand patterns in relationships, attachment difficulties, or strong feelings such as guilt and shame.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and adjust the approach based on the client's goals, preferences and how they respond over time.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into their day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to explore working this way, the initial matching questionnaire and first session are opportunities to agree practical arrangements and decide how sessions will be scheduled.
