Nicole Uprichard, BACP

Nicole Uprichard is a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor and personal development coach based in the United Kingdom who offers both short-term and long-term work. She combines clinical counselling with practical coaching to help people move through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties while also supporting those aiming for personal or professional growth. Nicole is a registered therapist with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates she practices to recognised professional standards.

In counselling sessions she provides compassionate, client-focused support for a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, bereavement and anger, as well as relationship and family issues. She also has experience supporting parents who have experienced baby loss and birth-related trauma. Her trauma-informed approach means she pays careful attention to safety and pacing while working with distressing material.

As a coach Nicole adopts a forward-looking, action-oriented stance, helping people clarify goals, build practical plans and develop skills that support lasting change. She often blends counselling and coaching methods to offer a holistic path toward healing and personal development, tailoring the mix of approaches to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Nicole integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then choose values-based steps that move life forward. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions, as well as persistent low mood.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, non-directive framework where the therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply and helps people explore their own solutions. This approach often supports relationship issues, self-esteem concerns and conversational healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool in her practice - it focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Registered professionals and therapists work with each person to identify what feels most useful given their goals, history and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, on the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from different locations and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each individual.
