Nancy Brookes, BACP

Nancy Brookes is a United Kingdom-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and life transitions. She holds BACP, indicating membership in a UK professional counselling body, and offers practical, empathic guidance for those navigating complex emotional challenges.

Nancy works with clients across a broad range of concerns, including coping with cancer, domestic violence, guilt and shame, panic disorder and panic attacks, self-love and sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and young adult concerns. Her practice emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping each person explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She aims to help clients build understanding, develop coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward change takes courage, Nancy offers steady support throughout the therapeutic process. She adapts evidence-based therapeutic techniques to each person’s needs and preferences, and she is available to work with both local and international clients in English.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Nancy applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to common concerns such as stress and anxiety. These approaches focus on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, building practical coping skills, and teaching relaxation and grounding methods to reduce day-to-day distress. They are useful for worries, panic symptoms, and managing overwhelming stress.

She also uses evidence-informed strategies to address trauma, grief, and loss, focusing on gentle processing of difficult memories, stabilizing emotions, and developing ways to restore a sense of safety and meaning. These techniques can help people make sense of painful experiences and find ways to move forward at their own pace.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Nancy works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as needed so the work fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing contact between sessions when useful, and make therapy more accessible for those who find in-person visits difficult.
