Nadine Daubney, BACP

Nadine Daubney is a BACP-registered counsellor with 8+ years' experience working in a person-centred way. She trained after an international career and draws on that life experience to emphasise the value of being truly heard by an independent, non-judgemental professional. Her practice combines core humanistic, person-centred principles with targeted techniques for trauma and bereavement, and further training in High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Nadine is also a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and is awaiting accreditation - and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Nadine has supported clients across a wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, career transitions, OCD, bereavement, questions about sexuality, and settling into new life circumstances. She has particular experience with trauma and abuse and with clients who may be experiencing PTSD. Her work has included clients from age 16 to 88, and she has delivered many thousands of counselling sessions, working with a diverse client base that has ranged from CEOs to people living in hostels. She has also worked with sign language interpreters to support deaf clients.

Nadine describes her style as down-to-earth, warm and interactive, working at each person’s pace and avoiding stigmatising labels. She aims to help clients identify practical ways to manage difficulties and to teach tools so that, over time, people become more able to support themselves. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers an initial conversation to see whether her approach feels like the right fit.

Integrating person-centered, CBT and trauma-focused work online

Nadine works from a person-centred foundation that emphasises empathy, active listening and working at the client’s pace. This approach helps clients explore their feelings and values and is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. These tools tend to suit clients who want structured exercises and clear goals.

For clients affected by traumatic experiences, Nadine incorporates trauma-focused methods designed to support processing of difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma impacts daily functioning. These approaches are applied sensitively and tailored to each person’s readiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nadine works collaboratively with each client to clarify goals, preferences and what feels safe and effective, adjusting methods as trust and progress develop.

Online therapy with Nadine is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or who live far from in-person services, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy that fits into everyday life.
