Nichola Faiers

Nichola Faiers is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem and people coping with life changes. Nichola also supports concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication difficulties, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, social anxiety and questions about life purpose.

Nichola uses a person-centred foundation in her work. That means sessions focus on the client’s experience and strengths, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing. She describes her overall style as relational, aiming to build an authentic connection so clients can talk about what matters to them in the present moment.

In practical terms she invites people to speak freely about their concerns and feelings without judgement. Sessions are collaborative: she says she works alongside clients to adapt the way they meet, depending on what comes up. Conversations may include looking at thoughts, emotional responses and everyday patterns that affect wellbeing.

This counsellor highlights straightforward issues like time management, motivation and confidence alongside deeper themes such as grief, forgiveness and shame. She often attends to how past attachment patterns influence current relationships and sense of self. Nichola frames the work as exploring immediate feelings and experiences to help people find clearer ways forward.

People considering counselling with her are asked to use the platform’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The initial steps help clarify what someone wants from therapy and how the sessions will be structured.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Her stated practice rests on person-centred work that prioritises the client’s experience and strengths. In plain terms this involves the counsellor listening carefully, reflecting what is said and encouraging clients to notice their own responses; it can help with clarity around low mood, confidence and life changes.

She also emphasises a relational approach which focuses on the therapeutic relationship itself. That means attention to how people interact, how past attachment patterns show up now, and how honest connection in sessions can reveal recurring feelings and patterns that affect everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different ways of working and decide together which fits best with an individual’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaboration helps shape how sessions are run and what is prioritised from week to week.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available session lengths and arrangements when completing the matching questionnaire so practical details match your routine.
