About Nicola
BACP. Eight years' counselling experience. Nicola Channing helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports clients with self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions and intimacy-related issues.

How her approaches work for online counselling
Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her practice. One common approach involves talking therapies that help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This method can be useful for mood difficulties, worry and low self-esteem. Another technique focuses on relationship patterns and communication. It helps people spot recurring behaviours that cause conflict and then practise clearer ways of relating. This can help with intimacy issues, parenting strains and family communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will discuss options with each client and agree which techniques to use based on the person's goals and preferences. She aims to make this a collaborative decision so the plan fits what a person wants to achieve. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what the platform and counsellor offer.
