About Nichola
BACP. 5 years' experience. Nichola Salter works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.
She uses client-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused work. Nichola explains ideas in plain language and aims to help people spot what is working and what to change. Sessions are conversational and practical, focusing on small steps that can make a difference in daily life.
Nichola has worked in a range of roles before counselling, including management, teaching and emergency services, which she says inform her practical approach. Her background is brought into the counselling work as experience with organisation, decision-making and crisis response rather than formal medical roles.
In sessions she listens for patterns and helps clients identify useful strategies. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness practices are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and review progress. Client-centred work is described as placing the person’s experience at the heart of conversation. Nichola encourages small, achievable steps and reviews what helps between meetings.
She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. If considering working together, confirm current session formats and booking steps before arranging a first appointment.
Approaches used in online counselling and practical notes
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s perspective, helping them talk through what matters and identify their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the way they work based on what helps. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better suits day-to-day life. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain practical arrangements when you book so you know how sessions will run.
