About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She supports those struggling with eating concerns, addictions, panic attacks, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also helps people coping with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain and career-related pressures.
Nicolette uses simple, practical conversation to notice what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centred work to follow the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.
How Nicolette works
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused while respecting each person’s pace. Her background includes work as a substance misuse mentor and outreach youth worker. She has experience supporting people with mental health challenges and complex needs, and adults with disabilities and mobility issues.
These roles shaped her interest in helping people manage anxiety, dissociation, self-harm and the effects of physical or sexual abuse. Nicolette is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of experience as a counsellor and CBT practitioner.
She also has experience providing telephone and online counselling, which she continues to offer. In sessions she focuses on practical coping strategies, short-term goals and clearer routines. She encourages small steps and regular review so progress is visible.
People who prefer direct, compassionate guidance tend to find this style helpful.

Online support options
How Nicolette’s approaches work online
Nicolette uses client-centred therapy to follow the person’s priorities. This approach means sessions focus on what the person wants to talk about, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help clarify feelings and choices.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical exercises and short experiments to reduce panic, ease anxiety and change routines that maintain low mood or unhelpful habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nicolette will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, study or family life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access support in ways that fit daily life and practical constraints.
