Nicole Uprichard , BACP

Nicole Uprichard is a counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nicole offers both short- and longer-term work and combines talking therapy with coaching when that fits a person's goals.

She focuses on everyday pressures such as stress and anxiety, and on deeper concerns like trauma, depression and addictions. Relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain and career questions also appear often in her work. Nicole also supports people dealing with issues linked to adoption, abandonment and family of origin problems.

Sessions aim to be practical and understandable. Nicole draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to help people notice patterns, try new approaches and set achievable steps. Somatic methods may be used when physical sensations are part of the problem.

Her coaching work is goal-oriented and action-focused. That can mean setting short-term targets, building routines or planning career moves alongside counselling work. Many people choose a blended approach that addresses past harm while moving towards clear next steps.

Nicole works in English and accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Nicole's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes that can ease symptoms like low mood or worry. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering active listening and a non-judgemental space to make sense of problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written reflection or need to fit sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around life commitments.
