About Nicola

Nicola Longson is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, anger management, self-esteem and relationship issues, grief, parenting and career challenges, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD and autism spectrum concerns. Nicola also supports clients dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, communication and control problems, codependency, intimacy and commitment difficulties, and the emotional impact of separation or domestic violence.

Her style is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to the needs of each individual. Nicola aims to empower people to take the steps they need toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, offering practical and emotional support as they navigate change. She is not currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nicola draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused work to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance where the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence - it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy offers approaches to process and reduce the lasting impact of traumatic experiences while supporting safety and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nicola works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the plan over time as progress and circumstances change.

Online therapy with Nicola is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or another convenient location and can help maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
