Nels Rodwell, NCPS

Nels Rodwell is a UK credentialed therapist with 25 years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life coaching needs. She draws on a broad clinical background to help people build motivation, confidence and clearer connections with themselves and others. Nels works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries strengths that can be used to overcome current challenges, and she approaches therapy with empathy, kindness and a nonjudgmental stance.

Nels trained in Person-Centred, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and combines talking therapy with embodied and creative methods in person - offering counselling alongside massage in face-to-face sessions as well as writing therapy. She holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, and has worked with adults of all ages and nationalities across a wide range of presenting concerns. Her additional clinical focus includes issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency and communication problems, blended family and divorce issues, body image and dissociation, and responses to domestic violence and other forms of trauma.

Nels aims to travel alongside clients as they explore their inner landscape, encouraging self-awareness, responsibility and self-agency while offering practical tools to understand and process life experiences. Her style emphasises collaboration - helping clients discover their own truths and supporting them as they work toward deeper connections with themselves, others and the wider world.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Nels integrates several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people improve trust, closeness and conflict resolution in current relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and the client’s own resources - offering a supportive space for people to explore feelings, build self-esteem and increase self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Nels collaborates with each client to identify the best fit based on needs, goals and personal preferences. The therapist and client work together to adapt methods over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the issues being addressed.

Online therapy with Nels is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible for clients, including those living internationally, to access registered professionals without travel, to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and to choose the mode of communication that feels most helpful for their progress.
