Nancy Brookes, BACP

Nancy Brookes is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the many adjustments that come with life changes. Her practice also includes work with issues related to cancer, domestic violence, guilt and shame, panic and panic attacks, self-love, sexuality, social anxiety, women's concerns, and challenges faced by young adults.

Nancy cultivates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and aims to provide steady guidance through that first step and beyond. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, she helps clients develop practical coping skills, make sense of painful experiences, and find ways to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Available to international clients, Nancy offers flexible options for connecting and tailors her approach to each person’s needs and goals. Her work emphasizes collaboration, respect, and compassionate support as clients work through difficult emotions and life transitions.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill building with reflective exploration. One strand of her work focuses on teaching coping and emotion regulation strategies - straightforward tools to help manage stress, anxiety, panic, and the day-to-day impact of depression. These techniques are aimed at improving how people respond to difficult feelings and situations.

Another strand supports processing of painful experiences and loss by creating space to explore thoughts and emotions at a manageable pace. This approach can be helpful for trauma, grief, and issues related to abuse or major life changes, allowing clients to make sense of what happened and identify steps toward recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who cannot attend in person. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
