Nichola Faiers, BACP

Nichola Faiers is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She has three years of experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, time management and motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Her practice focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere where clients feel welcome and able to explore their concerns without judgment.

Sessions with Nichola are client-centred and invite open expression, with attention given to thoughts and feelings occurring in the present moment. She works collaboratively, tailoring therapeutic work to each person’s specific needs and goals. The foundation of her practice is a gentle person-centred approach that recognises clients’ internal resources for change, combined with a relational stance that aims to build authentic, mutual connections. Nichola seeks to offer practical and emotional support that helps clients navigate life transitions and everyday challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

Person-centred and Relational Support Online

Nichola primarily uses a gentle person-centred approach, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients access their own strengths to work through challenges. This approach is well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, depression, and motivation difficulties. She also adopts a relational approach that pays attention to the therapeutic connection itself - building an authentic and mutual relationship that can help clients explore feelings about attachment, communication, and interpersonal patterns.

Alongside these foundations, Nichola draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical concerns like stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. These techniques are applied in a straightforward way to support clearer thinking, emotional regulation, and day-to-day problem solving. Determining which combination of approaches is most helpful is part of the collaborative process - Nichola works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that feel like the best fit.

Online therapy with Nichola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, the ability to access support from home or work, and multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client. Registered professionals can adapt sessions to suit practical needs while maintaining therapeutic continuity and effectiveness.
