About Nikki
Nikki Dunne supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with individuals facing relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain and problems with self-esteem. Nikki also helps people coping with career changes, anger and compassion fatigue.
Nikki uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. She sees the person as the expert on their life and aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and building on their existing strengths.
How Nikki works
Her practice also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, dissociation, family of origin problems and fatherhood issues. She provides support around emotional struggles like guilt, shame, isolation and panic attacks. Nikki works with people affected by sexual assault and abuse and with those managing post-traumatic stress.
With three years of professional experience, Nikki draws on simple, practical conversations rather than jargon. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes and find ways to cope day to day. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable steps forward.
Nikki is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People can expect a warm, patient style and a focus on collaboration as they explore what they want to change.

Online support options
Client-centred support online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and experience. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and helps the person identify their own goals. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and processing trauma because it centres the person's needs and choices.Nikki treats finding the right way of working as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and together they will decide which approach and session format fits best. The method can be adjusted over time as needs change, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy practical for different lifestyles. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation, phone work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around busy days. These options allow people to choose what feels most comfortable and convenient for regular support.
