About Nicola

Nicola Vernon is a counsellor with 20 years of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people under pressure and those trying to cope with loss, addiction or relationship strain. Nicola aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can start feeling more able to manage day to day demands.

Nicola uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s own goals at the centre. She also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and make small, manageable changes.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want clear steps to move forward. In sessions Nicola listens without judgement and helps people slow the pace so they can understand their feelings. Conversations may look at grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting pressures, addictive behaviours, sleeping or eating concerns, and difficulty with intimacy or self‑esteem.

She also supports people facing career stresses, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related worries and life transitions. Nicola works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. She offers evening and weekend appointments to fit around work or family commitments.

Sessions are arranged by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Nicola holds BACP registration, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are conducted in English.

Online support

Nicola combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques to support people working through difficult feelings. Person-centred work means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural methods focus on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offer practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Nicola discusses options with each person and adapts techniques to match their goals and preferences. This collaborative approach helps decide whether more reflective listening, practical CBT tasks or solution-focused steps are best at any stage.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to continue support from different locations.
