About Nikki
Nikki Croce offers calm, practical support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She meets individuals who manage much of life well but who face a persistent problem - perhaps with work, relationships, eating or feelings of anxiety and low mood. Nikki uses straightforward conversation to help clients find a way forward and regain a sense of control.
She draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
How Nikki works
Nikki has worked with people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse and has supported clients through difficult pre-trial and post-trial circumstances. She also has experience with eating and food-related issues and pregnancy or childbirth related concerns. Her style is collaborative and trauma-informed.
Sessions begin by identifying practical goals and the small steps toward them. Nikki adapts different methods depending on what a person needs, including talking-based work and body-focused techniques to help with stress held in the body. She helps clients name patterns that harm self-esteem, control, or relationships, and then works on manageable changes.
Common areas she addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, attachment and body image worries. Nikki emphasises the client’s own knowledge of their life and builds on existing strengths. Nikki aims to offer a steady, patient presence while keeping boundaries clear.
Her approach suits people who want a practical plan alongside empathic listening. The focus is on small, achievable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Online support options
Approaches that can be used in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathic reflection and helps people explore their own goals and solutions, which can be useful for low mood, self-worth and relationship strain.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, works with memories and sensations linked to traumatic events. It uses structured phases to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories and can help with post-traumatic stress and recovery after sexual or domestic abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will choose which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online sessions allow the same therapeutic methods to be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls are helpful for more in-depth discussions and EMDR sessions, while phone work can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for check-ins, shorter reflections or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep momentum between sessions.
