About Nicola
Nicola Burgess is a counsellor who practices a client-centred way of working. She uses a warm, listening approach to help people talk through relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Nicola trained with a BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and has seven years of experience in the UK.
Nicola spends sessions helping people tell their story and make sense of difficult experiences. She supports those affected by trauma, abuse and narcissistic relationships, and she helps people dealing with separation, divorce and loss.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters to the person and on small, achievable steps forward. She also works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar experiences, stress, addictions and ADHD-related struggles. Nicola can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems and boundaries in relationships.
Other areas she addresses include body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and career-related stress. Narrative ideas and solution-focused steps are used alongside a person-centred stance to find practical ways to cope. Nicola aims to create a non-judgemental space so people can explore feelings, build confidence and try new ways of relating.
Sessions are offered by phone, video call, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges times that fit their schedule. Nicola approaches therapy as a shared process, helping people make choices that feel manageable and realistic.

Approaches Nicola lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Nicola will talk through goals and preferences and suggest options based on what the person wants to change. The process is collaborative and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, and chat or messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to arrange sessions around work, caring duties or other commitments while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
