Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people gain insight, self-acceptance, and the confidence to explore personal goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. It often includes structured techniques that help clients reframe thinking patterns and develop coping strategies.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and small, achievable changes that move a person toward desired outcomes. This approach can be especially useful for addressing immediate concerns and setting clear, forward-looking goals.

Nichola works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches is the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to adapt methods to the client’s pace and priorities so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Nichola can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain progress between meetings, and receive support in ways that suit a client's life and routine.
