Nels Rodwell, NCPS

Nels Rodwell is a UK-credentialed therapist with 25 years of professional experience who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings a strengths-based perspective, helping people recognise the resources they already have and build on them to meet life challenges. Holding the NCPS credential - a UK professional registration - she combines clinical training with practical approaches to promote clearer thinking and stronger relationships.

Trained in Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she integrates these methods to suit each person’s needs. In face-to-face work she is a dual therapist who combines counselling with massage and also offers writing therapy as part of the healing process. Her practice addresses motivation and confidence alongside deeper issues such as attachment and patterns that affect relationships.

She describes her role as accompanying people through their inner landscape, offering nonjudgmental support while trusting that each person is the expert on their own life. Nels aims to provide practical tools to understand, internalise, and process life experiences so clients can cultivate better connections with themselves and others. She emphasises self-awareness, self-agency, accountability, empathy, kindness, and courageous vulnerability as foundations for more fulfilling relationships and a more satisfying life.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape present-day feelings and interactions. It is useful for addressing relationship difficulties, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and patterns that repeat in adult partnerships.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of the work. The therapist offers empathic listening and gentle guidance so clients can explore values, increase self-understanding, and build confidence to make meaningful changes in life and relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provides practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT can help people develop new coping skills and break unhelpful patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Nels will work with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may draw on more than one approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives and for people who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access therapy in a way that suits a client’s routine and comfort level.
