About Nicola
Nicola Bagust works from a practical, person-centred stance to help people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She introduces straightforward steps and steady support so people can start making small changes that add up. Nicola has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation in the United Kingdom.
She commonly helps people who are dealing with addiction-related problems and with how those problems affect the people around them.
How Nicola works
Nicola also supports those struggling with intimacy-related issues and major life changes that knock confidence and motivation. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be tried next. Nicola keeps sessions sensitive and respectful.
She listens for the patterns that get in the way and helps clients test practical alternatives. Together they set goals that feel achievable and relevant to day-to-day life. Her approach is flexible.
Nicola adapts the way she talks and plans therapy to suit each person’s needs. That might mean shorter, focused work on a single problem, or a slower pace for processing loss or trauma. Nicola aims to create a supportive space for people taking the first steps towards change.
She offers clear ideas and encouragement, while helping clients build confidence to manage emotions and relationships more effectively.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based techniques can be used effectively online. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and testing small practical changes. This helps with low mood, motivation and everyday coping by breaking problems into manageable steps.A second approach emphasises processing difficult emotions and losses at a cautious, steady pace. It supports people working through grief, trauma or intense feelings by creating a clear plan for each step and checking in about how the work feels.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before. Together they choose methods that match the person’s needs and adjust them as therapy progresses.
Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
