Nicola Biggs, NCPS

Nicola Biggs is an integrative psychotherapist based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, who works with both individuals and couples to address trauma and relationship difficulties. She combines a person-centred core with complementary approaches so the work can be shaped around each client’s needs and pace, allowing people to set direction and find the pace that suits them.

Before establishing a private practice Nicola gained experience working in a local grammar school and with Bucks Mind, roles that informed her understanding of varied life challenges and the practical demands people face. She brings that background into sessions, aiming to create a therapeutic space where clients can explore difficult experiences, improve relationships, and build coping strategies.

Nicola holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and she is committed to treating clients with respect and understanding. She values the courage it takes to engage in therapy and finds professional fulfilment in witnessing the positive changes people make through the process. Her practice focuses on trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and related concerns, offering a supportive environment tailored to each person’s goals.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful and non-judgemental space where the client’s needs and goals guide the work. It helps people who need support to explore feelings, rebuild self-esteem, or make changes at their own pace.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactive patterns. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional dysregulation by teaching practical ways to notice thoughts and sensations without becoming overwhelmed.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impacts of traumatic experiences, offering structured support for symptoms related to past events and helping clients regain a sense of safety and control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Nicola will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be held by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent contact can be arranged through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments, and help maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
