About Nicola
Nicola Demetriou uses a client-centred approach to help people make real changes in their lives. She blends narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviours. Nicola speaks plainly and offers a calm, steady presence for people working through grief, anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Nicola trained after a personal experience of bereavement led her to retrain from teaching into counselling. She holds BACP accreditation, and has seven years' experience in a mix of settings.
Background and approach
Her work includes time with a bereavement charity, a community charity, an NHS GP surgery and social services. In sessions she helps people notice patterns in thinking and relationships. She will talk through where difficult thoughts come from and how to look at them differently.
Practical tools such as breathing and relaxation exercises, communication practice and step-by-step goal setting are offered when useful. Nicola often structures work into six-session blocks so progress can be reviewed and new goals set. She aims to build an honest, open working relationship and invites feedback about how therapy is going.
Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly depending on what the person prefers. Her areas of focus include stress, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, career questions and coping with life changes. Nicola also supports people with ADHD, social anxiety, attachment difficulties, divorce and women's issues.

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 right approach is part of the process and will be formed together. Nicola will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then test different ways of working and adjust as needed. The collaboration helps make sure sessions fit the person and the issue they bring.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep momentum while working towards clear six-session goals.
