Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi , BACP

Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi is a counsellor who helps people with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and coping with life changes. She works with individuals facing stress, anger, career uncertainty and depression. Nancy aims to make first contact straightforward and supportive for anyone taking a step towards therapy.

Nancy practises with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to suit each person's needs. That means sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all techniques.

Over seven years of professional experience inform her approach. She has supported people dealing with attachment and commitment issues, communication problems, control struggles and family concerns. She also helps with isolation, finding life purpose, self-love and workplace pressures.

Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and encourages a collaborative pace. She works with people on skills for coping, improving relationships and managing anxiety or depressive symptoms. Coaching-style work is available when clients want goal-oriented support.

Sessions are offered in English and Nancy accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as session format and scheduling are discussed at the start. She asks clients to outline their needs so she can tailor the work to fit their situation.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Many clients benefit from a straightforward, evidence-based approach that focuses on present challenges and practical skills. One common method used in her work emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with stress, worry and everyday overwhelm.

Another approach centres on relationship and attachment issues. It involves looking at how past experiences affect current connections and learning communication skills that improve trust and closeness. This can be useful for commitment concerns, communication problems and feelings of isolation.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods as the work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change if needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video, phone, live chat or messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and busy family life.
