About Nichola

Nichola Salter helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and career questions. She also works with those coping with life changes and ADHD.

How Nichola works

Sessions aim to be goal-focused and easy to follow, with clear steps to try between meetings. Nichola draws on client-centred skills to make people feel heard and respected. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Mindfulness tools and solution-focused ideas help with stress, overwhelm and getting unstuck. Her background includes five years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. That experience is combined with earlier roles in management, teaching and public service environments.

These roles shaped her practical, down-to-earth style and ability to work with everyday pressures. People can expect direct, compassionate sessions that focus on achievable change. Nichola explains options clearly and helps plan the next steps.

She encourages small, steady actions that add up over time.

Online support options

How practical approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices and supporting self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments to break negative cycles; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. They will adjust methods together over time to find what actually helps in everyday life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues, while phone sessions work well when a quieter call is needed. Live chat or messaging can be shorter check-ins, or a way to write through thoughts without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and other routines.
