Nichola Salter , BACP

Nichola Salter is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, ADHD and coping with life changes. Nichola works from a practical, person-focused stance and aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and useful.

She keeps sessions centred on the person's goals and strengths. Nichola uses clear techniques to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Clients can expect an approach that balances listening with practical tools to try between sessions.

Nichola brings five years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. Before counselling she spent many years in management, teaching, broadcast environments and emergency service roles. That varied background shapes a calm, organised way of working and an interest in practical problem solving.

Her core therapies include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, alongside solution-focused methods. These approaches guide how she helps people make small changes that add up over time. Nichola treats each person as an individual and tailors techniques to what they need.

Sessions are offered in English and follow a straightforward, conversational style. The emphasis is on making progress at a pace that feels manageable and on building skills people can use outside therapy. Nichola aims to empower individuals to move towards greater wellbeing and clearer coping strategies.

How Nichola's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Nichola treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss different methods and help decide what fits a person's goals, needs and preferences. Together they try options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, and each has practical benefits. Video calls work well for conversations that need visual connection, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports reflection over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and to keep continuity when life is busy.
