About Nichola
Nichola Faiers offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or loss. She aims to create a warm space where clients can be heard and begin to make small, manageable changes. Nichola uses a conversational, non-judgemental style that helps people find clarity and build confidence.
Nichola is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She has three years of experience supporting people through grief, motivation and time-management struggles as well as difficulties with self-esteem and depression.
How Nichola works
Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical next steps. Her work is grounded in a person-centred stance that values the client’s own strengths and choices. She combines this with a relational approach that pays attention to what happens between counsellor and client.
That means conversations often explore feelings and thoughts as they arise in the session. In practical terms Nichola tailors the way she works to each person. She listens first, then suggests techniques and experiments to try between sessions.
Small steps, repeated over time, are used to reduce anxiety and increase confidence. People often bring concerns about attachment, body image, communication, control, guilt and shame, isolation, social anxiety or questions about life purpose. Nichola helps clients talk through these issues in a clear, down-to-earth way.

Online support options
Approaches that help online and in sessions
Two key strands guide her practice. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following what the client brings to each session; it helps people feel understood and supports gradual change through their own strengths. Relational work pays attention to the connection between counsellor and client and uses that connection to notice and work with feelings which often helps with attachment issues and interpersonal worries.These approaches are practical rather than prescriptive. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the right mix of conversation and exercises, reviewing what helps and adjusting as needed. Deciding on techniques happens together based on each person’s goals and preferences rather than being imposed up front.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who need more flexible scheduling. Together these options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
