Nichola Faiers, BACP

Nichola Faiers is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With three years of experience, she supports people managing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and challenges with self-esteem, confidence, motivation and time management.

Nichola fosters a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where clients are invited to share their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her sessions focus on the client as the expert in their own life, encouraging expression and exploration of present-moment experiences to better understand what is driving current difficulties.

She works collaboratively, tailoring her approach to each person’s circumstances and goals. The foundation of her practice is a gentle person-centred way of working that emphasises the client’s inner resources, alongside a relational stance that seeks authentic, mutual connection. This combination allows Nichola to pay close attention to emotions, interpersonal patterns and practical coping strategies that support change.

Clients can expect an empathetic, nonjudgmental practitioner who aims to help them navigate life transitions and emotional challenges while building confidence and resilience over time.

Person-Centred and Relational Care Delivered Online

Person-centred therapy emphasises the client’s own strengths and resources. It creates a supportive space where the therapist listens without judgment and helps clients explore feelings, self-esteem and motivation at their own pace - this approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression and issues around confidence.

A relational approach focuses on the therapeutic connection itself, using the relationship between client and therapist to examine patterns in attachment, communication and interpersonal difficulty. This gentle focus can be especially useful for clients working with loneliness, social anxiety, attachment concerns and complex emotions such as guilt or shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nichola works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best. She adapts techniques to match individual needs, goals and preferences so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by registered professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments and to continue therapy from different locations while working toward their goals.
