Yuliia Nicholls, BACP

Yuliia Nicholls is a qualified psychodynamic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and registration with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers therapy to adults in English, Ukrainian and Russian and draws on both her training and personal dedication to support people through difficult life chapters.

Her approach centers on listening carefully and helping individuals make sense of how past experiences influence their current difficulties. In sessions she creates a supportive, non-judgemental environment where clients can explore present circumstances and earlier events to gain insight into the roots of stress, anxiety, grief or relationship struggles. Yuliia believes awareness of underlying patterns can open pathways for change and renewed direction.

She has a particular interest in working with childhood trauma, war-related trauma and the mental health needs of veterans, as well as bereavement, culture shock and psychological issues tied to migration. She also supports people managing anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, perfectionism, separation and divorce, attachment difficulties, family conflict and career concerns.

Yuliia approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on individual strengths. Taking the first step to begin therapy can take courage, and she aims to offer steady, compassionate support for those ready to start.

Therapeutic approaches and online support tailored to your needs

Yuliia integrates psychodynamic therapy, trauma-focused therapy and client-centered approaches to address both current challenges and deeper patterns. Psychodynamic therapy explores how early relationships and experiences shape present feelings and behaviours, supporting people who want to understand recurring difficulties and emotional responses. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic events and is suited to those affected by childhood trauma, war-related experiences or post-traumatic symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgemental relationship in which the individual s perspective and strengths guide the pace of work and the goals reached.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey and Yuliia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Yuliia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comforts. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without travel, and they can be particularly helpful for people managing busy lives, relocation challenges or mobility constraints.
