Nicholas Damin , BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Damin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He aims to listen first and follow each person’s pace rather than rush to solutions.

Nick uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience at the centre of each session. He also draws on existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain. These approaches are used to help people facing life changes, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, or the strain of caregiving and chronic health issues.

Common topics he supports include family tension, communication problems, abandonment and attachment worries, adoption and foster care issues, and the emotional impact of illness or cancer. He also works with people who identify as LGBT and those coping with commitment or control difficulties.

Sessions may include practical exercises, creative tools and straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Nicholas keeps things flexible to match what each person finds most helpful, whether that is talking through feelings, trying small behavioural steps, or reflecting on life priorities.

If someone is unsure where to start, he encourages a short initial conversation to clarify goals and practical arrangements. He supports people who want to make gradual, steady changes and who prefer a thoughtful, respectful style of counselling.

How his approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to a person’s experience and following their lead. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, build self-trust, or work through feelings at their own pace.

Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and values. It can be useful for people facing major life changes, questions about purpose, or struggles with identity and commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicholas collaborates with each person to see which ideas and methods fit best for their goals and everyday life. Together they decide whether to focus on exploring feelings, trying simple behavioural steps, or using creative exercises to notice patterns.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
