About Nicki
NCPS. 5 years' experience. Nicki Janes works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, coping with life changes and ADHD. She uses a person-centred approach and helps people talk through what brought them to counselling.
Nicki describes herself as an integrative counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She begins sessions by listening to what has led someone to seek help. She then explores ways to move forward and may suggest coping strategies when helpful.
Sessions focus on what feels most pressing for the individual. Nicki offers straightforward conversation and practical suggestions rather than medical diagnosis. She emphasises listening without judgement and working at a pace the client is comfortable with.
Her experience includes working with people across a wide age range. The person-centred model she follows aims to reflect the client’s concerns back so those concerns can be understood and addressed. This can include communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and issues around life purpose.
Nicki also supports people with self-harm thoughts, self-love, women's issues and challenges common to young adults. Where practical coping skills are useful, she discusses and practices those with clients. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English.
To start, Nicki asks people to describe their current difficulties and what they hope to achieve. From there she and the client agree how to proceed, keeping sessions focused on clear, manageable steps.
Client-centred approach and online counselling
Nicki uses a client-centred way of working which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person brings to sessions. This approach helps people clarify their feelings and decide what changes they want to make, and it is often used for concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and grief.As an integrative counsellor she also draws on other helpful techniques when they suit the client. That means practical coping strategies may be discussed alongside person-centred talking, depending on the issue and the person’s preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the counselling work. Nicki will work collaboratively to identify what methods fit the client’s goals and needs, and she will adjust the way she works as those needs change. The process is conversational and based on what the client wants to focus on.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are set by the counsellor. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or not using video would help on some days, discuss this when arranging sessions so the format suits everyday life.
