Nikki Croce, BACP

Nikki Croce is a United Kingdom based therapist registered with the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people who may appear to manage well in many areas of life but feel stuck in one specific domain, such as relationships, work, body image, or self-worth.

Her clinical experience includes supporting survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, providing care throughout pre-trial circumstances and the months that follow. Nikki adopts a trauma-informed stance and tailors therapeutic methods to help clients clarify goals and take practical steps toward them. She also has training and experience in eating disorders and in exploring eating and food-related concerns.

Nikki engages in collaborative work to identify issues that disrupt a person’s sense of identity, control, achievement, self-esteem, quality of life, or relationships. She describes herself as empathetic and patient, creating a boundaried and supportive space for examining difficult material. Comfortable working with diverse backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, and identities, she centres the client as the expert in their story and draws on individual strengths to support change. Nikki aims to empower people who are ready to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Online therapeutic approaches for trauma and healing

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental environment where the client’s own goals and values shape the work - this approach supports people struggling with self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their intensity; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and the aftereffects of abuse. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the emotional, cognitive, and behavioural impacts of traumatic experiences and helps clients develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of safety and identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Nikki will work collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and can adapt the plan as progress is made. The selection of techniques is guided by the client’s experience and the issues they bring to therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and for some people live chat or text-based messaging provides an easier way to engage. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare, or mobility needs, and help maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver thoughtful, goal-focused work tailored to each person.
