Nancy Brookes , BACP

Nancy Brookes welcomes people who are finding life heavy or hard to manage. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. Nancy also supports those facing major life changes and people navigating concerns linked to cancer, domestic violence, sexuality, and women’s issues.

Nancy uses straightforward talk and active listening to build a calm space for conversation. She aims to make it easier to say what’s on your mind and to notice patterns that keep you stuck. Sessions are practical and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon.

Her approach focuses on short-term steps you can try between sessions. That might include checking how routines affect mood, learning ways to manage panic and anxiety, or gently facing things that cause guilt and shame. She helps people weigh choices and plan small, achievable changes.

Nancy is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional practice experience. She holds BACP, which is shown as her professional credential. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients when arrangements allow.

People who want clear conversation, practical suggestions and steady support may find her style helpful. Nancy encourages anyone who feels overwhelmed by difficult emotions to reach out and explore whether talking together could help them move forward.

Approaches that guide online therapy sessions

Two common approaches Nancy uses are problem‑focused talking and practical coping strategies. Problem‑focused talking means looking at the troubles that cause the most distress and breaking them into parts you can address. It suits anxiety, panic and specific life changes. Practical coping strategies involve learning simple tools to reduce intense feelings, manage panic attacks and find steadier routines that support mood.

She also draws on grief‑informed support when loss is central. This involves paced conversations about what has changed, helping people find ways to remember and to rebuild day‑to‑day life after loss. These methods are aimed at helping people take small, doable steps rather than promising quick fixes.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try a few techniques, and adjust what you do together based on what feels most useful. You and the therapist decide the pace and focus together.

Nancy offers a range of online formats to suit different needs. Video calls work well when you want face‑to‑face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text‑based messaging let you check in between appointments or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
